Local Chapter Handbook
Business Professionals of America (BPA) chapters excite students and get them plugged into an experience-based, co-curricular program. BPA is designed to take business and information technology skills from academic knowledge to real-world experiences and help educators make the classroom a motivating and interactive experience.
BPA Advisors and students work together in a mentor-based partnership. Members learn how to go from students to professional in their knowledge, skills, and abilities.
The Local Chapter Handbook is designed to assist chapters with the basics of their BPA program.
The Handbook includes a sample meeting agenda, chapter calendar, program overviews, contacts for all of your BPA needs and much more.
