What does it mean for FBLA-PBL membership to be unified?

FBLA-PBL membership being unified means that members are expected to participate at all levels: local, state, and national. This requirement fosters a sense of belonging to the wider organization and encourages active involvement in the various layers of FBLA-PBL. By engaging with the local chapter, state association, and national organization, members can fully experience the benefits of membership, such as leadership development, networking opportunities, and competition. This multi-tiered membership structure strengthens the overall organization and ensures that members are contributing to and reaping the benefits of the collective efforts of FBLA-PBL.

While collaboration on national projects and sharing resources may be important aspects of membership, they do not encompass the broader definition of what it means to be unified within FBLA-PBL. Additionally, a unified code of conduct addresses behavior and expectations but does not specifically relate to the hierarchical structure of membership across all levels.
