Which individuals are included in Professional members?

• A. College professors unrelated to FBLA
• B. Students only
• C. Local and state chapter advisers, business teachers, employers or supervisors of cooperative work-training students, advisory council members, businesspersons, and other persons contributing to FBLA
• D. Local high school students who volunteer

Answer: (C)

Professional members are the adults who support a chapter with guidance, resources, and a link to the business community. The qualifying individuals include local and state chapter advisers, business teachers, employers or supervisors of cooperative work-training students, advisory council members, businesspersons, and other persons contributing to FBLA. They’re included because their experience and connections help chapters plan activities, mentor members, and advance FBLA goals. In contrast, college professors not connected to FBLA or anyone who is simply a student—like local high school students who volunteer—do not fit this category.
