Description:
The Fall Leadership Development Conference is designed for all local chapter PBL members. Sessions are held to explain and review the programs, projects, conferences, and activities of PBL on the local, state, and national level. A time in late October/early November is the suggested date for FLDC.
The state FLDC began in 1975 as a planning and sharing time for officers and advisers, with a gathering of nearly 50 PBLers on the UNC-Greensboro campus. Each vice president works with the Leadership Development Director to secure the physical facilities necessary (hotel accommodations, meeting rooms, meal functions, etc.); the Leadership Development Director is responsible for planning the FLDC program and coordinating publicity.
An award is given to the chapter with the largest chapter delegation in attendance.
In 1986, the "President's Award for Membership Recruitment" and the "NCPBL Non-Trivia Contest" were instituted. For the President’s Award, chapters prepare a display of materials used for membership recruitment. These displays are judged by the NCPBL President, the Professional Division President, and the designated Regional Vice President. The "Non-Trivia Contest" is conducted by the Professional Division as a means of encouraging local chapter representatives to learn more about the state and national organizations. A study guide from which questions will be taken is mailed to each chapter, and three-member teams (not to include state officers or previous contest participants) participate in preliminary rounds. Three teams (the highest-scoring team from each of the three regions) advance to the final round of competition. Specifics on both activities are included in the FLDC registration materials.

STATE LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
Join us as we celebrate the 56th Annual NC PBL State Leadership Conference
SLC GUIDE:
Located in the Documents area under State Leadership Conference.
Description:
One of the major projects of the state chapter each year is the State Leadership Conference, which is held annually in March or April. The conference includes general sessions, business meetings, competitive events, officer elections, special-interest sessions, awards banquet, and social activities. Each local chapter may enter up to two participants in each competitive event (with specific exceptions). The first- and second-place winners in all events with a national counterpart (with specific exceptions) and also third- place winners in test only events are eligible to advance to competition at the National Leadership Conference.
This conference provides an opportunity for Phi Beta Lambda members from local chapters across the state to share ideas and challenges. Full conference details, including registration forms and event entry forms, are sent to all chapters approximately six weeks prior to the conference.
Advisers and chapter officers should consider building programs around the competitive events sponsored by the state chapter. These events are designed to improve the abilities of all chapter members in a variety of areas including impromptu speaking, parliamentary procedure, business knowledge and skills, and the preparation of written and oral reports, etc. Every event, if organized and conducted carefully at the local level, can contribute to the personal and professional development of members. The motivation of being selected to represent the local chapter in a particular event at the State Leadership Conference can be exciting and rewarding.
Registration Fees:
$70 per person on or before March 10
$80 per person after March 10 or on-site registration
