Chapter History
The Croton-Harmon FBLA chapter was the brain child of their advisor, Lou Nardone, who had began the program in 2005 as a pilot club; a deal made with the board of education to see how FBLA operates and it's potential within the school system. Beginning with only five members in the very beginning, the chapters membership exploded within a few months; sky rocketing nearly 500%. Needless to say, the chapter was a smashing success, exceeding all expectations made by the board earlier that year. In September of 2006 the chapter was officially recognized by the Board of Education. The chapter has returned again in the 2007-2008 FBLA year, still as strong as ever.
