Our Future Leaders
Virginia Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) is an organization for middle school, high school and collegiate students enrolled in business classes or those interested in the field of business. FBLA members focus on serving schools and communities; developing competent, aggressive leadership skills; and promoting academic excellence. Virginia is one of the largest state FBLA chapters with nearly 10,000 students participating.
Our Mission
The Virginia FBLA Foundation, founded in 1993, is a volunteer-based, non-profit organization that generates and disburses funds to support the leadership development of Virginia business students in middle school, high school, and college. The Foundation awards scholarships to FBLA students to participate in national leadership programs and competitive events.
Since 1993, the Foundation has disbursed over $400,000 to students for leadership activities.
FBLA members participate in a wide variety of leadership development activities and conferences on the local, state, and national levels. At conferences, students attend leadership workshops and participate in competitive events. Leadership conference participation can cost each student over $2,000 depending upon location. Many schools are limited in conducting fundraising projects to support FBLA activities.
The Virginia FBLA Foundation, Inc. serves Virginia FBLA members by providing support for:
• State event winners to participate in national competition
• Scholarships
• Leadership development programs
