Start a Chapter
Bring Business Professionals of America (BPA) to your school and offer students an experience-based, co-curricular program that bridges classroom learning with real-world applications. BPA chapters inspire students to develop leadership, teamwork, and professional skills through mentorship and hands-on activities.
No matter where you are in the process, BPA offers guidance and resources to help you succeed.
Your State Advisor is your main point of contact for state and regional BPA activities. They’ll guide you through competitive events, including the Workplace Skills Assessment Program (WSAP), and help your chapter qualify for the National Leadership Conference. They also manage state awards, officer elections, and other statewide programs.
The National Staff supports chapters with national programs and tools. They can help with the Membership Registration System, Workplace Skills Assessment Program Event Guidelines, National Scholarships, Torch Awards, Officer Elections, and more.
The Local Advisor is the educator who leads the chapter at your school. They work with school leadership, recruit members, coordinate meetings, and guide students through BPA programs. This role is key to building a strong and active chapter.
Bring BPA to your school and give students the opportunity to gain real-world skills,
leadership experience, and national recognition.
Our team is here to support you. If you have questions or need guidance, please reach out.
