Future Business Leaders of America

FBLA is a non-profit education association for secondary students preparing for careers in business, entrepreneurial or business-related fields. Members reap opportunities to develop business experience, self-confidence, job-seeking skills, leadership, networking skills, communication/organization, money management, and career exploration.

On April 15, 1969, South Dakota received the 39th state charter of FBLA. South Dakota has created a tradition of numerous members attending conferences all across the country, and we have had three FBLA National officers.

Our fourth national officer, Emily Gassman, Howard High School, was the 1996-97 National FBLA Treasurer.
