What Is FBLA?

FBLA stands for Future Business Leaders of America.  It is a national organization for high school students who are interested in pursuing careers in business. Members attend regular meetings, take part in regional, state and national conferences, compete in various business events, perform community service and are involved with the school store and other fundraising activities. Through involvement, students have the opportunity to learn from business leaders in the community and partake in “real world” professional experiences such as the Partnership with Business Project. Through FBLA, members get a competitive edge for college and career success.  (click here for FBLA Club Handout)
