<p>Hello, guys. I'm interested in starting a Future Business Leaders of America club in my school because we don't have one:( but I need more information on what the meetings would be about. I already found a teacher who's willing to act as an adviser for the club. I would also like to know the procedures for starting new chapters. Is there any paperwork that I need to fill out? I already read about the conferences and the competitions the members could partake in but I need to know the dates for these competition. Is it too late to register?</p>
<p>I would really appreciate any help rendered:)</p>
<p>Hey, I'm starting it at my school too, so I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. We just finished sending our paperwork in; it would probably depend on if your state has its own deadlines in addition to the national ones. There is a new charter application and fee ($20 I think) that needs to be filled, out. There's a fall regional conference coming up that's probably too late for you to register for depending on your state and region (our conference is next week). But it's definitely not too late for the winter conference around february/march, which has competitions. The fall one generally doesn't.</p>
