On November 6, 2024, Monroe-Woodbury’s FBLA Chapter held an induction ceremony welcoming all of their new members and inducting their new officers into the club. This ceremony helped recognize new members and exposed them to their first FBLA event. Members were called up one at a time to shake the hand of our District 3N Historian, Sanjita Raja, officially welcoming them into the club.
Officers for the 2024-2025 school year were also recognized and were responsible for reading aloud major speeches in which they would recite lines that exemplify the duties and obligations of what it means to be in FBLA. Officers were then called up to accept the roles and responsibilities put upon them for the upcoming school year.
The individuals that are apart for this year’s FBLA MWHS chapter officer team are as follows:
Presidents - Anya Malhotra and Pravin Jegan
Executive Vice President - Ella Cherian
Vice Presidents of POWS - Siddharth Ranganathan and Swathi Sathyamoorthy
Secretary - Hiral Bhagudia
Treasurer - Kangunn Lee
Chapter of the Year Coordinator - Joanna Rodriguez Leon
Reporter - Ava Cherian
Middle School Liason - Prasad Saha
This year, Mrs. Palkaunieks has taken the reins once again as the MWHS FBLA Chapter Advisor. The induction ceremony also gave recognition to the members from our chapter who are running for a position in the FBLA State Office: Swathi Sathiyamoorthy, Siddharth Ranganathan, and Sanjita Raja. An afterparty full of sweet treats and conversation took place before eventually wrapping up this welcoming event. We are excited to start a brand new year in MWHS FBLA!
