Who nominates board members and who elects them for FBLA-PBL, Inc.?

• A. Nominations are made by the president and elected by the membership.
• B. Nominations are made by state chairmen and elected by the local FBLA-PBL chapters of their regions.
• C. Nominations are made by the national staff and elected by regional councils.
• D. Nominations are determined by a nationwide poll of members.

Answer: (B)

Nominations come from state chairmen and are elected by the local FBLA-PBL chapters within their regions. This setup fits the organization’s regional structure, giving local chapters a direct voice in choosing national leaders and ensuring nominees have regional backing. Centralized nomination by a single person or body, or a nationwide poll of all members, would bypass the local chapter input that this process intentionally preserves.
