Mission Statement  

FBLA provides its members with the necessary skills to successfully compete in the job market, pursue post-secondary education, or manage personal skills. 

While participating in group projects, chapter meetings and community involvement, skills are learned which help members gain an understanding of the way business works. 

Classroom instruction is often not enough to develop an understanding of the business leadership skills which are needed to have a successful business career. Leadership and participation skills are taught in group discussions, meetings, conferences and within committees all while engaging in practical problem-solving and decision-making activities involving service, education and progress. 

A competitive spirit and recognition of excellence helps reflect important aspects of the educational process used in FBLA, which prepares members for their roles in the American enterprise system.

Practical opportunities are provided in which members achieve success through participation in career-related activities which are designed to reach professional goals. These opportunities help create a knowledge of business principles. 

A means of learning correct and accepted social and business behavior is achieved though contact with teachers, advisers, employers and business people while members develop confidence in their own abilities.
