Who recommends the state committee chairman?

• A. National executive council
• B. Board of Directors
• C. Association president and chief executive officer
• D. State officers

Answer: (C)

In FBLA bylaws, the authority to recommend the state committee chairman rests with the association president and chief executive officer. This executive leader handles leadership appointments for committees and presents nominees for consideration, ensuring the choice aligns with bylaws and organizational goals. The national executive council and the board of directors provide governance oversight and approve major actions, but the initial recommendation comes from the association president and CEO. State officers are elected to lead the state chapter and guide its activities, but they don’t make the initial recommendation for the state committee chair.
