Which of the following describes a duty of the president?

• A. Oversee chapter chartering.
• B. Lead fundraising for the national conference.
• C. Manage the national budget.
• D. Preside over the council meetings and business meetings of FBLA.

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is that the president's leadership centers on guiding meetings and keeping the organization moving through its business. As the presiding officer, the president chairs the council meetings andFBLA business meetings, calling the group to order, guiding the discussion, ensuring everyone follows the rules, and making sure decisions are recorded and acted upon. This is the core leadership function that reflects the president’s role in directing how the organization operates in formal settings.

Other duties described are typically handled by other roles. Overseeing chapter chartering is usually the work of the advisor and appropriate organizational units that manage chapter formation and approvals. Leading fundraising for the national conference is generally managed by fundraising committees or officers dedicated to development rather than the presidency alone. Managing the national budget is primarily the responsibility of the treasurer and the finance team, with oversight from the council, not the president’s sole duty.
