What ribbon does a local chapter receive at NLC for recruiting 7 more members than last year?

The reason "7-Up" is the correct answer lies in its specific designation for membership growth within the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) organization. This ribbon is awarded to local chapters that recruit a minimum of seven new members compared to their previous year's membership. It emphasizes the achievement of not just recruiting members, but reaching that particular milestone of growth, encouraging chapters to continue expanding their influence and participation.

In contrast, "Top Recruiter" typically recognizes individual members or chapters with the highest overall recruitment numbers rather than a specific growth percentage or number. "Gold Membership" often indicates a broader level of achievement in membership standards but does not directly denote a numeric increase. "Membership Excellence" may refer to comprehensive success in maintaining or achieving membership quality and engagement but does not specifically align with the requirement of recruiting seven additional members.
