Who shall be the adviser of a local FBLA chapter?

• A. A faculty member who believes in the mission and goals of the association.
• B. A student member selected by the chapter.
• C. An administrator from the school district.
• D. A local business leader with no regard to FBLA mission.

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that a local FBLA chapter needs an adviser who is part of the school community and shares the organization’s mission. This person provides steady guidance, helps plan meetings and activities, and ensures that the chapter operates within school policies while aligning with FBLA’s goals. Because the adviser is a faculty member, they can supervise chapters, coordinate with administration, and support members throughout projects and events. A student cannot serve as the official adviser, and an administrator from the district or a local business leader not connected to FBLA’s mission would lack the necessary school affiliation and alignment with the program’s purpose.
