Officer & Adviser Training Day is a one-day event where section and state officers will guide chapter officers and members in fast-paced but targeted workshops to coach them in preparing their chapters in planning and executing their Program of Work for the year. While the students are doing their workshops, the Chapter Advisers will meet to review the past year and look forward to the coming year. Advisers will also be invited to ask questions and share insights into how to make their chapters better.

The Bay Section Officers have been and will continue to communicate with Chapter Presidents to set the agenda for the day for the students. Advisers will meet with the Section Director to go over the upcoming year and any updates from FBLA and CA FBLA.
