Central Piedmont’s PBL/FBLA chapter was recognized as one of the state’s few Gold Star Chapters at the 2021 Fall Leadership Development Conference.

To earn Gold Star status specific membership and active participation milestones must be met by October. The chapter must also attend the Fall Leadership Conference. students lined up in front of stage holding certificates
