During what months does the FBLA membership year begin and end?

The FBLA membership year is designed to align with the school year and typical academic calendar. It begins in August, allowing students to register and participate at the start of the academic year, and concludes in July, after the national events and conferences have completed. This timeframe encourages active participation in local, state, and national activities while students are engaged in their school environment. Other timeframes proposed in the options do not align with the overall structure of FBLA activities and seasonal events, making them less suitable as membership periods. The August to July period is crucial for maintaining continuity in member involvement and ensuring that new and returning members can fully benefit from their experience throughout the year.
