We work together to develop professionalism and leadership through Business Professionals of America and pledge our loyalty to our nation."〔 BPA's motto is: "Today’s students. Tomorrow’s business professionals."〔 ==Officers at National, State, and Chapter Levels== Every Business Professionals of America chapter has presiding officers for the national organization, state associations, and local chapters. They all share and carry out similar tasks at all levels. *President: A good leader is one who can work with people and in turn get people to work with him/her for the good of the organization. He/she knows the work that has to be done and recognizes that it will take many people to do the job. The leader keeps informed at all times of the efforts and progress of those whom a responsibility has been given and sees that the organization is moving forward. *Vice-President: The office of vice president usually carries specific responsibilities for program planning. In most organizations, this is a major task involving many skills and much hard work. In BPA, the vice president has the responsibility of coordinating all Torch Awards Program activities and assisting the president by meeting with all committees, coordinating the program, and assuring that all activities are in keeping with general chapter practices. *Secretary: A good secretary contributes much toward the efficiency of a chapter. Some chapters have one or more recording and corresponding secretaries while others have only one secretary. Some duties include keeping a complete and accurate account of proceedings of the chapter’s business meetings and the meetings of officers, keeping membership lists including a record of attendance, answer all correspondence promptly, and file the letter and the reply for future reference. This position is vital to the stability and progress of the chapter. It requires a responsible and organized individual that will get things done before or right on deadlines without delay in order to keep chapter activities running and stable. *Parliamentarian: The chapter parliamentarian is responsible for the smooth running of meetings according to proper parliamentary procedures. Suggested duties include being present at each meeting to advise the presiding officer, being familiar with the by-laws of the local chapter, and the state and national organizations; studying parliamentary procedure so as to be familiar with all of its principles. *Treasurer: A good treasurer should be accurate, prompt and resourceful. Some suggested duties are serving as chairman of the finance committee, help plan the chapter budget for the year, and keep accurate financial records. *Historian: The historian will provide pictorial and factual information to be kept as permanent records of the chapter’s activities. *Reporter: The reporter writes articles for the media, including the school newspaper and local paper regarding chapter news and spotlights. *Sergeant at Arms: Keeps order at meetings, but at a larger level (similar to parliamentarian). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Business Professionals of America」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
