2026-2027
State Executive Council
Executive Council members represent the BPA student members from across the state. Executive officers serve a one-year term and are elected each year by membership during the annual State Leadership Conference. These leaders represent our state association at various conferences, meetings, and special events during their term in office. In addition, they also help plan our annual fall and state leadership conferences.
State Executive Council Chapter Visits
Are you interested in having an Executive Council Member visit your local chapter or attend a special event that your chapter is hosting? Our goal is to fit in a few visits during the 2025-2026 membership year, so be sure to plan in advance if you would like one of our state leaders to visit your chapter.
State Executive Council Fundraising Goal
The 2026–27 State Executive Council has set an ambitious fundraising goal for the year — and they’re working hard to meet it. Fundraising is an important part of their leadership journey, teaching valuable skills like budgeting, project planning, communication, and financial responsibility.
By raising their own funds, the team is able to support their initiatives, attend leadership events, and bring new ideas to life that benefit BPA members across the state — all while learning how to lead with purpose and accountability.
Curious to see how they do? An update will be shared at SLC 2027, where we’ll celebrate their progress and announce whether they reached their goal!
