If the state where you attend college or reside doesn’t have an FBLA Collegiate Direct chapter, you’ll join the national Collegiate Direct chapter and only pay the $10 national fee. However, if your state does have an active chapter, you can choose to pay state dues either in the state where you attend college or where you reside.
Members are active upon dues payment being received at the national center via an online credit card payment or a downloadable mail-in invoice with a check or money order.
Once you register for FBLA Collegiate Direct membership, you will receive a link to your personal profile where you will reset your password. This will give you direct access to your invoice and will allow you to pay online by credit card.
