What are the goals of FBLA?
Professional
Professional activities provide members with a business connection for their future. These activities help increase student skills and knowledge of the business world. Guest speakers, panel discussions, visits to business/industry, and shadowing experiences are used as instructional projects for a chapter’s program of work.
Leadership
One of the most important goals of Nebraska FBLA is to develop leadership qualities in its members. Participation in FBLA activities as a member, committee chairperson, or officer provides experiences that contribute to the development of a positive self-image and a feeling of accomplishment.
Community
Chapter activities that make a contribution to the community provide members with the opportunity to develop civic pride and responsibility. Members also meet influential business and community leaders, learn the steps necessary to complete a project, and work with business and government officials.
Service
The activities in this category are as varied as the problems of people in need. The main purpose of service projects is to help others and these activities can be tailor-made for the school and community.
