TABLE OF CONTENTS
I wish you good health and a summer season filled with family, friends,
and new adventures.
A Message from FBLA-PBL President/CEO, Alexander T. Graham
The reason for this was that first, and foremost, to replicate the “NLC”
the finale of our FBLA-PBL program year, to the same conference
online would be impossible. We intentionally developed content to
enable our members to seize a world of opportunity to explore, expe-
rience, and engage to meet them where they are. These are the core
membership themes of our three student divisions, and seize it, you
did!

Daryl Bratz
23rd Recipient; Nominated by Wisconsin FBLA: Daryl Braatz
Bobbie Timmerman
24th Recipient; Nominated by Arkansas FBLA: Bobbie Timmerman
Known fondly as “Ms. T”, she has had a profound impact on the lives of
FBLA members at the local, district and national levels of FBLA. She is
the business department chair at Nettleton High School in Jonesboro,
Arkansas and serves as the school’s local chapter adviser for an
impressive 51 years. Over 5,500 students have been in her classroom,
many as active FBLA Members. She has been the District FBLA director
for at least 40 years and on the national level, has attended almost every
National Leadership Conference since 1970. She served with distinction
on the National Board of Directors and is a past board chair.
Congratulations, Bobbie (Ms. T), and thanking you for seeing in your
students what many did not see in themselves. For your lifelong
commitment to FBLA-PBL we are honored to recognize you as a National
Life Honorary Member.
Striving to help members that may be in a tough situation like him when he first started
in FBLA, Drew wanted to give back to the FBLA community by serving others. He was
elected as a Pennsylvania state officer, and in 2019, Drew was elected as the Eastern
Region Vice President of FBLA.
HANA LE (LA)

her high school career. Hana is a three time chapter officer, was elected as the Louisiana
FBLA State Secretary her sophomore year, and now currently serves as the Louisiana
FBLA State President.
Hana dedicates herself to enhancing the limitless opportunities FBLA provides and
helping members develop their own passions and potentials.
Through FBLA, Haneol has learned skills he never imagined, such as public speaking,
confidence, passion, dedication, and leadership. Haneol has served as president of his
chapter and as the Executive Vice President of Washington FBLA. Furthermore, Haneol
has served as the National Western Region Vice President and loved meeting members
from all across the nation.
She has served three terms as a local officer, two terms on a national council,

sponsors.
sponsors whose generosity makes our
National Awards Program cash prizes
Earlier this spring, we asked chapters to share their suggestions for our guiding theme. Our theme was sug-
gested by an FBLA chapter from Weber High School, under the adviser leadership of Alan Rawlins, stating that
everything an FBLA-PBL member accomplishes and achieves allows one to go higher… and therefore, we ASPIRE.
As we look ahead to the next school year-however uncertain it may appear right now-what we know is that
FBLA-PBL has great things in store. We will be officially launching our Roadmap series to guide members on
their journey; we have strategic partnerships with companies like Facebook, Tallo, and Intuit; and we plan to
offer robust content in all areas of business education. We Aspire to explore, experience, and engage with you.
We aspire for a better future. We aspire to grow business. We aspire to lead.
In using this theme, we encourage chapters to think about the values and actions that define their community
and use them in the discussion and marketing of FBLA-PBL as elements to which to Aspire.
How will you weave the Aspire theme into your program year?
