Greetings Cherry Creek FBLA Members,
Many thanks for another extraordinary year with FBLA! Our journey in the
past year has been exciting, rewarding and successful. We were able to uphold
the legacy of Cherry Creek FBLA, build upon previous victories, and continue
our quest for success. As Chapter President, I am proud of each and every one
of you for getting involved in many FBLA activities and continuing to pursue
new goals in FBLA.
Our members have maintained our close relationship with local businesses
and have recruited a total of four Professional Division members. Ten
members have completed their Business Achievement Awards and two
members have achieved various levels of Community Service Awards,
receiving national recognition.
The 2017 State Leadership Conference in Vail, Colorado was also well
attended by our chapter. Fifty-nine members qualified to compete and eight
placed in the top 5 in various events. Five members competed at the 2017
National Leadership Conference in Anaheim, California. Our chapter’s
Community Service Project placed in the top fourteen in the nation.
As always, our members are dedicated to make an impact in our community.
We ran several fundraisers to benefit the Lymphoma and Leukemia Society.
Additionally, we participated in a chapter-wide community service project
serving Children’s Hospital Colorado. Our chapter also played an important
role in the Creek Day of Service, a school wide community service activity.
A new direction for a chapter-wide activity is international membership
development. Two members traveled to Hungary as FBLA ambassadors and
were instrumental in implementing a foreign FBLA chapter at Toldy Ferenc
Gymnázium, in Budapest. Cherry Creek FBLA has “adopted” this new
chapter and is mentoring the Hungarian FBLA members.
As the 2017-2018 school year comes to an end, your new team of chapter
officers will continue to work together to increase membership, plan activities
to enhance leadership development, and take our chapter to new heights.
Congratulations on a successful year! Thank you Cherry Creek FBLA for
your support!
Kind Regards,
Aditya Sinha
Cherry Creek FBLA President 2017-2018

Our Chapter - Number of Members
Cherry Creek FBLA was founded in 1981 and since
then has touched the lives of many students. Year
after year, Cherry Creek FBLA continues to maintain
its high level of membership. With 97 members, it is
the third largest student organization on our campus.
The membership distribution per grade levels is
shown in Figure 1. Membership was on a constant
upward trend over the past five years, currently being
the highest ever. Mr. Mike Goodman served as
adviser to Cherry Creek FBLA since 2013. He has
dedicated countless hours outside of the classroom
and chapter meetings to help members meet their
goals. Our high school’s faculty and administration
recognize FBLA as being beneficial to all students in
bringing success beyond high school. After many
years, Cherry Creek FBLA continues a proud
tradition of excellence.

Our Chapter, Our School and Our Community
The Local Chapter Annual Business Report outlines the activities and accomplishments of the
Cherry Creek High School chapter of Future Business Leaders of America from April 1, 2017
to April 1, 2018. This report describes how the members of our chapter strived to reach their
aspirations and prepare themselves better to become the business leaders of tomorrow.
Greenwood Village has a population of 15,500, while the Greater Denver Area is home to 2.8
million people. Built is 1955, Cherry Creek High School is the oldest and the largest of the seven
high schools in the Cherry Creek School District. Since it was built, in order to accommodate the
ever growing number of students, Cherry Creek High School has expanded to include four buildings
on 80 acres. Currently, its student body consists of nearly 4,000 students. Greenwood Village is part
of the Denver Technological Center. Due to our proximity to so many businesses, our FBLA chapter
is very fortunate to have gained the support of numerous local businesses.
Our School and Our Community
Cherry Creek High School (CCHS) is a public high
school, located in Greenwood Village, a suburb
situated southeast of the city of Denver, Colorado.

The Cherry Creek Club Fair
The Club Fair is the most important recruitment
event which takes place every year, in late
August. All the clubs from our high school are
represented, allowing students to browse and
learn more about various clubs. At this event,
besides freshmen, we also target all
underclassmen and any other interested
students. In addition to brochures, at this event,
we usually hand out coupons and small gift
cards to local restaurants to students who
actually join FBLA at that time.
Program of Work
The Program of Work is a FBLA chapter’s activity guide for the upcoming year. It
allows members to plan their work, and then work their plan. The Program of Work
is re-evaluated at the beginning of second semester and at the end of the school year.

Recruitment Activities
An organization’s most important resource is its membership. The more committed,
hardworking, and enthusiastic the members of an organization are, the more it can
accomplish. To maintain high membership and to expand, the Cherry Creek FBLA
leadership team has introduced numerous activities geared towards membership
recruitment and retention.

Future Bruin Night
Future Bruin Night is an Open House
for new families. This is a very
important recruiting event for our
chapter because it is targeting
freshmen. Since 8th grade students and
their parents attend this event, FBLA
officers have the opportunity to
introduce them to FBLA and persuade
them to join our chapter. For this
purpose, our members prepare a light-
up informational display board, which
is a great attention grabber and
attracts countless prospective students and their parents to our table. This poster board contains
general information about FBLA, pictures from recent FBLA activities, as well as testimonials
from past and present members. The FBLA officers manning the table also hand out promotional
brochures which explain the benefits of FBLA membership and encourage students to reach out to
the chapter adviser and chapter officers with questions.
The FBLA Interest Meeting
The FBLA Interest Meeting is always in early
September and is well attended. Existing members are
urged to invite a friend. Pizza and cake is served.
Prospective members were shown a recruitment power
point, which gives them a visual idea of the FBLA
experience. They are also able to learn about our
chapter’s long standing success and strong presence on
campus. At the end of the meeting we have a raffle.
Additional Recruitment Activities
In preparation to the FBLA Interest Meeting, members
design flyers which are hung all over the school and
promote the meeting. These flyers feature general
information about FBLA, but also inform that the chapter’s
Interest Meeting is a “pizza and cake” party. Promotional
pamphlets are also being distributed to all business classes.
Existing FBLA members are encouraged to engage in
Membership Madness and Membership Mania, for which
they will be recognized at a later chapter meeting.

Chapter Office Elections
In May 2017, 18 Cherry Creek FBLA members applied for officer positions and took part in an election
process. They filled out an application stating their qualifications to hold office, their goals for the
future of Cherry Creek FBLA and their ideas for improvements that could be made to our chapter.
They were also required to submit a personal statement. Then, the candidates were interviewed by the
existing officer team and the chapter adviser. Four of the candidates were chosen to serve as officers
for the 2017-2018 school year.
Chapter Committees
At Cherry Creek FBLA, members do not have to be
formally elected in a leadership position to assume a
leadership role. Anybody can volunteer to chair or co-
chair a committee and to take the lead in an activity. In
the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 school years, our chapter
had the following committees: Competitive Event
Committee, Community Service Committee, and
Membership Development Committee.
Student-Led Local Chapter Workshops
To improve the knowledge of the new and returning
FBLA members, the officers and members alike agreed
that it would be beneficial to have short local chapter
workshops, once a month, as part of the regular chapter
meetings. Usually, members voted on the topic, and a
student volunteered to prepare and give the presentation.
Topics covered were FBLA Chapter Events, FBLA
Introductory Events, the Business Achievement Awards, Career Development, and Go Green. Members
were also encouraged to attend the workshops and lectures offered at the District and State Leadership
Conferences.
Business Achievement Awards (BAAs) and Community Service Awards Programs (CSAs)
By participating in the various levels of the BAAs and CSAs,
students were further able to develop their knowledge of FBLA,
hone their leadership skills, their organizational abilities, and
gained valuable community service experience. Ten members
have been recognized at district, state, and national levels for
their achievements. Also, two members received the
Community Level Award and two members were recognized
for the Service Level Award.

FBLA considers leadership to be so essential that this concept is embedded in its

provides many opportunities for our members to assume an active role in leadership
development.

Competitive Events
Every year 100% of our chapter members participate in at least one competitive event at
Districts. Those who qualify advance to State, and a few members will compete at the National
Leadership Conference. Each member has access to study materials and guidelines for their
event. The chapter adviser is very knowledgeable about the competitive events and he and the
officers are available to provide mentorship and support to all members.
College Fairs
The Cherry Creek FBLA Officer Team is accountable for informing
members about mini-college fairs hosted at our high school and about
larger college fairs that take place in the Greater Denver Metro Area.
Students attending the National Leadership Conference also have the
opportunity to visit with admission officers from several colleges at
the college fair hosted by the National Conference.
FBLA Career Development Workshops
The topic of one of the local chapter workshop was Career Development. Members were shown
how to write cover letters, how to organize resumes, how to apply for scholarships, and how to
be successful at an interview. Members are always encouraged to attend the workshops at the
district, state, and national leadership conferences, which also cover these topics in more detail.
Local Chapter Meetings
By participating in the bi-monthly
local chapter meetings, Cherry
Creek FBLA members and officers
learn how to plan and conduct a
meeting. They have a chance to
discuss new ideas and to work
together as a team. The skills
learned from these meetings will
prove beneficial in other endeavors
and will shape the members as
future successful leaders.

Local Business Support
Cherry Creek High School has a reputation of a school with very high standards for academics,
ethics, athletics, clubs and extracurricular activities, and community involvement. Cherry Creek
FBLA also has a positive image in our community due to the maturity, dedication and hard work of
its members. Therefore, when our chapter members reached out to local businesses, they were ready
to pledge their support.
Due to their generous donations, all Cherry Creek
FBLA members who qualified to compete at the
2017 State Leadership Conference were able to
attend. Our supporters were:

Leadership Conference for three Hungarian students and
their advisor from Toldy Ferenc Gymnázium in Budapest,
Hungary.

the Tanzanian FBLA Summer
Leadership Conference in July 2018.
Professional Division Members

including Denver Water and DTC Health. They provide additional guidance and support to our
