The Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda, or FBLA-PBL, is an American career and technical student organization that has its headquarters in Reston, Virginia. FBLA-PBL is a non-profit organization of high school ("FBLA"), middle school ("Middle Level"), and college ("PBL") students, as well as professional members ("Professional Division"), who primarily help students transition to the business world. FBLA-PBL is the largest student-run organization in the United States of America, with 253,365 members, and one of the largest business-related organizations in the world. Local FBLA-PBL chapters are often connected to their school's business education department, and most advisers are business education teachers. It is one of the top 10 organizations listed by the U.S. Department of Education.
Governance
FBLA-PBL divides the United States into five regions. These regions are Western, Mountain Plains, North Central, Southern, and Eastern.[1]
The organization is ultimately ruled by its Board of Directors, which consists of the CEO, business leaders, business education teachers, and the association presidents.[2]
Each division of the association has a national officer team. These officers are elected each year at the National Leadership Conference. FBLA and PBL have a President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Parliamentarian, and a Regional Vice President from each of the five regions. The Professional Division has a President, Vice President, and a Secretary/Treasurer.
Within each region is a Regional Executive Board (REB), which is lead by the region's Vice President and has Regional Officers. Unlike most FBLA-PBL offices, Regional Officers are selected by the Regional Vice President for service, and those interested must fill out an application during the beginning of the school year.
Each state then has what is called a State Chapter. Each State Chapter has its own State Officer Team. The roles in each State Officer Team vary by state, but each usually contains a President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and a Reporter. Some also have Historians, Webmasters, and Parliamentarians.
Every state is then divided into regions, districts, or areas. These are governed by an elected officer who serves on the State Officer Team.
Finally, each chapter has its own Officer Team.
