How many voting delegates can a chapter with 73 members have at the state conference?

The number of voting delegates a chapter can have at the state conference is typically determined by the total membership of the chapter. According to the guidelines governing FBLA chapters, a chapter is allowed one voting delegate for the first 25 members and one additional delegate for every additional 25 members.

In this case, for a chapter with 73 members, the calculation works as follows:

1. The first 25 members grant the chapter 1 voting delegate.

2. The next 25 members (up to 50 total) provide another delegate, bringing the total to 2 delegates.

3. The following 23 members (from 51 to 73) add a third delegate since there is still an allowance for delegates based on membership growth.

Thus, a chapter with 73 members can have a total of 3 voting delegates at the state conference, making the answer accurate.

This understanding is crucial as it emphasizes the representation that chapters have based on their size, promoting participation among larger chapters without neglecting smaller ones.
