What is FBLA?

Future Business Leaders of America is the high school division of the national association, Future Business Leaders of America–Phi Beta Lambda, Inc. (FBLA-FBLA).  Social events are certainly a part of FBLA activities, but the main focus is business and leadership development.

The mission of FBLA is to bring business and education together in a positive working relationship through innovative leadership and career development programs.

Business and education are brought together when students preparing to enter the business world interact with those persons currently in the business world. Through this interaction, student members learn how to become more marketable, and gain contacts in the business world that will help them accomplish their career objectives.

The best leaders and business professionals are not born being the best––they have to continuously hone their skills if they want to stay on top. FBLA gives motivated individuals the tools they need in their quest for self improvement. Local chapters throughout the nation participate in a wide variety of activities both on and off campus. They initiate business ventures, organize community service projects, attend state and national leadership conferences, participate in fundraisers, and create publications. Students have the opportunity to win accolades on the state and national levels. Members gain a competitive advantage in the business world by interacting with local companies and their executives.
