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.
