Awarding and recognition for completing this level is done at the next State Chapter Meeting or the annual State Leadership Conference. Pre-requisite: Director level. Deadline: March 1

Outstanding Chapter Program
Open to all PBL chapters, this recognition program encourages recruitment, retention, member involvement, community service, leadership and career exploration, and more. National Leadership Conference (NLC) delegates from chapters that complete twenty-one (21) activities receive a pin in their NLC registration packets. Deadline: April 2
Competitive Events
The Competitive Events Program recognizes and rewards excellence in a broad range of business and career-related areas. At the State Leadership Conference each late winter/early spring, students compete in events testing their business knowledge and skills. State winners and other members who want to compete in national competitive events not used at SLC that year are then eligible to compete for national awards at the National Leadership Conference each summer.
Each event is governed by specific guidelines and rating sheets, format guides, and in the Competitive Events section of the Chapter Management Handbook, updated and published each August. Make sure you are using the most recent version of the guidelines to prepare for your competition.
Competitive events fall into three categories: individual, team, and chapter. Individual and team events focus on skills useful in leadership and career development; chapter events recognize overall achievement and performance in chapter management and growth. Be sure to check out the reference guide before selecting your competitive events.

Adopt-A-Chapter Program
The Adopt-A-Chapter Program is a community-based project that bridges the gap between FBLA-PBL.

Participating chapters may use this program in the Outstanding Chapter Program.

Local chapter advisers are encouraged to present this award to winning members at a local PBL ceremony, meeting, or event. Deadline: April 1
