FBLA Business Achievement Awards

Participating students have the opportunity to enhance their leadership skills, expand their business knowledge, contribute to their local communities, and earn recognition by immersing themselves in their school and communities. This program is open to active, paid high school student members in FBLA. There are four levels to the Business Achievement Awards.
