Local Advisor Leadership Training Series

Business Professionals of America is proud to introduce a new BPA Webinar series with six modules, the Advisor Leadership Training Series.

New Advisors gain new skills, returning advisors freshen up your skills and join us for a six part Local Advisor Leadership Development Webinar Series. The webinars will address everything you wanted to know as a local chapter advisor and prepare you for success in the BPA classroom. We will highlight general BPA knowledge, making BPA co-curricular in the classroom, membership recruitment/registration/retainment, and BPA Leadership Development offerings.
