East Bernard Future Business Leaders of America
FBLA is an association made up of students pursuing careers in business or for students who just want to learn something about business. There are three main aspects of the organization: social, professional, and community service. Social- members get to know each other and have lots of fun. Professional-members learn new things about business by attending conferences, competing in contests, and attending workshops on business-related topics. Community Service-Members give back to the community through a number of service projects including Trick or Treat for Can Goods and a Winter Warm Drive, and making blankets for the Ronald McDonald House. A $15 membership fee covers the cost of local, state and national dues, which enable members to attend and compete in the leadership conferences.
