What percentage of the national FBLA membership must vote to change the FBLA bylaws?

When considering the requirements to amend the FBLA bylaws, a two-thirds majority is necessary. This means that for any proposed changes to be approved, at least two-thirds of those voting must be in favor. This threshold is set to ensure that any amendments have a strong consensus among the membership, reflecting a significant level of support rather than just a slim majority.

In contrast, a simple majority means just over half would be adequate for passing a measure, which may not convincingly represent the views of the broader membership. Similarly, a three-fourths majority sets a higher bar than necessary for bylaw changes, making it more difficult to adapt to evolving needs. A unanimous vote would require all voting members to agree, which is rarely feasible in a larger organization and could hinder necessary updates or changes to the bylaws. Hence, the two-thirds majority strikes a balance that facilitates necessary governance while ensuring a substantial agreement exists among members.
