Enhance leadership skills, expand business knowledge, contribute to local communities, and earn recognition
The Business Achievement Awards (BAA) are an individual achievement award program for active, paid high school student members in FBLA. 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. There are four levels to the Business Achievement Awards.

CONTRIBUTOR AWARD (Level One)
Members are introduced to the foundations of FBLA and learn how to best take advantage of the opportunities available to members.

LEADER AWARD (Level Two)
Members learn the fundamentals of leadership and explore their personal leadership style.

ADVOCATE AWARD (Level Three)
Members have the opportunity to select a business skill or content area that they would like to further develop. Once completed, members have the choice of continuing on to the Capstone Project (Level Four) or selecting a new business skill or concept to earn an additional Advocate Award.

CAPSTONE AWARD (Level Four)
Participating members will design, complete, and reflect on a project that solves a real-world problem. Interested members can submit their project for competitive review at the National Leadership Conference.

STUDENT CHALLENGES & PARTNER PROGRAMS

Student challenges and partner programs provide opportunities for students to compete in a variety of areas throughout the school year. Different from the National Awards Program (competitive events), student challenges are often presented in collaboration or hosted by our partners throughout the year.

Individual

Each division from each state can nominate one businessperson to be recognized at the National Leadership Conference. Reach out to your State Leader for more information.

Chapter

The High School Champion Chapter program is a set of membership recruitment and engagement-focused challenges that chapters may complete for national recognition, such as ribbons, banners, and digital certificates, based on the number of points accumulated.

Adviser

The Hollis and Kitty Guy Gold Seal Chapter of Merit Award recognizes outstanding local chapters that have actively participated in projects and programs identified with the goals of FBLA. Active local chapters must be nominated by the State Leader or their designee and be on record with the National Center as having paid dues by March 1 of the current program year. Each state may select two chapters or up to 15 percent of its total number of active local chapters, whichever is greater, for this award.
