Interested in becoming an Ohio Association State Officer?
Business Professionals of America, Ohio Association shall elect quality officers to provide leadership and guidance to the organization. An officer’s duties can be placed in three general categories: to motivate members to achieve their highest potential; to promote the organization and act as a goodwill ambassador for career-technical education; and to give direction to the work of the organization.
The decision to run for a state office should not be made lightly or without sincere commitment to serve. If a member has the desire to serve as an Ohio Association state officer and has the support of his/her family, school, and BPA advisor(s), the student should consider participating in the officer selection process. The officer selection process will examine the attitudes and abilities of each officer candidate and reveal which individuals have most completely developed their leadership skills.
More information on the state officer roles and responsibilities can be found in the Ohio BPA State Officer Candidate Handbook
