MEET THE 2026-2027 NH STATE OFFICERS
The State Officer Team serves as the student leadership group that helps lead, represent, and grow FBLA across the state. State Officers plan and assist with conferences and events, lead workshops, run state projects focused on service, education, and progress, communicate with chapters through social media and newsletters, and work to increase membership and engagement. Their goal is to leave the organization stronger than they found it by creating new opportunities, building connections between chapters, and representing NH FBLA with professionalism and leadership at the local, state, and national levels.
*Note: State Officer Projects have been discontinued. There will be 3 State Projects announced in the Fall of 2026.

HOW TO BECOME A STATE OFFICER
Running for a State Officer position is an amazing opportunity. The campaigning process is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, as you get to learn about all the chapters throughout the state and meet students from every chapter. Once elected, state officers take on a wide range of responsibilities, such as running state meetings, making decisions on statewide projects, and connecting with members from across the nation. Being a state officer also brings forth even more opportunities for leadership, such as going to national events, leading workshops, and meeting members of the national counsels. If you would like to take advantage of these opportunities and many more, talk to your local chapter advisor about running for state officer, or download the 2027-2028 (TBA) application packet to learn more.
NHLC INFORMATION:
The New Hampshire Leadership Committee was started by Maggie Mae Cove. Maggie Mae was a two term NH FBLA State Officer, served as the FBLA National President’s Chief of Staff (2021-22), interned for the CEO of FBLA and National Staff (2022), was the National President’s Executive Director of Region Outreach (2020-21), and the Founder and Chapter President of St. Thomas Aquinas High School’s FBLA Chapter.
The purpose of NHLC is to inform local chapter officers and members on what is going on at the state and national level. Meetings happen twice a month through 30 minute Zoom calls. These are an informal chance to get to know the State Officer team and learn about recent updates.
Anyone is able to attend, from someone who is a member to the chapter president, this information is geared toward local chapter officers but is good information for any member to have!
