What Has FBLA Done For Me

Being a part of FBLA has been one of the most self-rewarding,

unforgettable, and amazing experience of my life. No words

can ever be put together to describe the people I have

networked with, the overwhelming feeling of victory when I won my first competition,

or my transformation into a leader. All in all, it’s thanks to FBLA that I am now a Future

Business Leader of America.

Fundraisers that I have participated in and raised …..

Ozark Lollipops-$23.75 Italian Ice-$35.00 FBLA Goodies-$20.00 Chik-fil-A-$12.50

-These fundraisers enable my FBLA chapter to help pay for members to go to conferences, attend our end of the year banquet, and provide discount on FBLA membership.
