Update from FBLA National Center regarding payments 

“Effective January 1, 2025, the payment policy for FBLA Connect will be updated to discontinue the “Pay by Mail” option, which previously allowed for a 60-day grace period for invoices. To maintain active status in FBLA Connect after January 1, please ensure all member invoices are paid in full. Any invoices created before January 1 will still be eligible for the 60-day grace period.  

The “Pay by Mail” option will return for the 2025-2026 program year.
