State Leadership team
interested in becoming a state officer?
Take your PBL experience to the next level by applying to become a State Officer! Each year, State Officers are elected by local chapter voting delegates at the State Leadership Conference. Responsibilities can differ depending on the year and officer position, but all officers take part in planning the annual Spring Leadership Conference, assisting local chapters, and engaging members. See the North Dakota PBL Handbook for specific information of officer position responsibilities.
