WINTER SEMINAR SERIES - JANUARY 28 - EASTERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY
On January 28, the Winter Seminar Series will be held at Eastern Illinois
University in Charleston, Illinois. All Illinois PBL members are invited to
attend this FREE event. We will begin in Lumpkin Hall with registration at
9:30 and a special Passport Activity—this will be a great opportunity to
network with your fellow Illinois PBL members and hopefully some Illinois
FBLA members as well. The official board meeting will begin at 10 a.m. A
choice of two workshops will be offered at 11 a.m.—you may attend a
workshop on dressing for the interview and learning about common interview
questions and body language, or you may bring a resume and go through a
mock interview. A free lunch will be provided at noon, and we will wrap up
the day with a March of Dimes workshop from 12:45-1:30. RSVP deadline is
January 25 to Chris Pulec, IL PBL State President, at chris.pulec@gmail.com

PBL Sponsorship Opportunity
Does your chapter need a sponsorship?
Of course! What chapter couldn’t use some extra cash for recruitment,
conferences, or other expenditures? This is your opportunity! Illinois
PBL wants to partner with your chapter to make a difference at the local
and state level.
The contest is simple, follow the steps below:
1. Submit listings of individuals or businesses that may be
interested in sponsoring an event for the State Leadership Conference
through the following Google Doc link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFFjenRpd2xyUEs5QnVvOGpPY1BtYkE6MQ
2. Illinois PBL will do all the work by sending a sponsorship
letter to the potential sponsors explaining the organization and
purpose.
3. The chapter with the highest number of submissions that result
in a sponsorship will receive $150 cash for their chapter!
Want to know who is leading in number of submissions? Illinois PBL will
post a running total once a month to the state website! Remember: the
highest number of submissions is not the winner. The winner is decided on
the number of submissions that result in a sponsorship. These totals and
the winner will be announced at the State Leadership Conference.
By participating in this contest, you can help your chapter and increase
the number of sponsored events at the State Leadership Conference. Start
compiling your list today! Submissions are due January 31, 2012. Please
send any questions to Nicki Wilhelm, Director of Development, at nwilhelm06@hotmail.com.
