The History of Piscataway FBLA
Founding and Leadership
Piscataway's FBLA Chapter was founded by Ms. Nancy Ostrowski and Mr. Jerry Szymonowicz, supported by Mr. John Cerro, in 1990. In its first year, Piscataway FBLA had seventeen members. The first officer team consisted of appointees from those seventeen, hand picked by Ms. Ostrowski. In 1996, Ms. Sharon Cerro replaced Mr. Syzmonwicz, working hand in hand with Ms. Ostrowski until 2000. From 2001-2003, Ms. Debra Williams joined the Advisory Board for PHS FBLA. Piscataway FBLA Chapter No. 11706 was led by Ms. Ostrowski from 1990 to 2013. During the 2012-2013 school year, our current adviser, Mr. Gregory Michaels, worked with Ms. Ostrowski as a volunteer adviser. The 2013-2014 year marked the beginning of the era of leadership under Mr. Michaels, who ascended to the position of adviser.
