This form must be submitted annually by the chapter adviser for CDE review and approval by the CA FBLA State Adviser in order for the chapter to have CA FBLA affiliation for the new school year.  

If yours is a brand new chapter, the next step is to complete a Chapter Organization Packet (COP) with the National Center. Go here: https://www.fbla-pbl.org/ and select "Start a Chapter" for either high school or middle school. The chapter will need to pay the $25 charter/re-activation fee to the National Center as part of finishing the COP prcess.

Once you have both an approved chapter charter from the national office and confirmation from Molly Anderson, your CA FBLA State Adviser, the adviser will be able to enter student names as members in the nationl database, pay the associated fees, and register for events held by California FBLA for the 2020-21 school year.

As part of the affiliation process,you will need to contact your school district to get the district Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) and you may consult the following CalPads document for detrmining your CTE Course Codes; however, check with your site principal to be sure that the CalPads number you select for your courses matches the numbers being reported to the CDE by your school annually for those courses.  CalPads CTE Course Codes Document. (updated 8-26-2020 for 2020-2021)

Do not register members or pay membership fees on the national web site's database until you have received confirmation of approval of annual affiliation by the CDE.  

2020-2021 Affiliation Form:

Adviser account activation requires that the national office already has your email account in their database and associated with your school chapter.  This step is initially completed when the Chapter Organization Packet (COP) is completed on the national web site here:  https://fblapbl.wufoo.com/forms/m1a23wfv0e5uhzj/

If you are already at an active chapter, and you are encountering an "Email address not found" issue when you try to activate your account, then first try completing this form:  https://fblapbl.wufoo.com/forms/r1y89qz01bxcpur/

If you still have issues with activating a new adviser account, you will need to contact the national office membership@fbla.org to fix your account.  (A known issue is that some advisers put their own email address on one or more student member registrations in the past.  This causes a duplicate records issue that can be fixed, but only by contacting the national office to have it manually addressed in the system.  This is a one-time issue/fix, thankfully.)

Students will be able to activate their accounts after they have been registered and paid as members and their adviser has input their email address in the registration process.   Students need accounts to participate in BAA and other activities.
