Viola FBLA Live Updates

What is FBLA?

FBLA (or Future Business Leaders of America) is an organization that develops high school students across the nation by teaching them vital business skills. FBLA does this by allowing students to compete in various business-related competitions and hosting educational programs. 

Recent Competitions

Every year, FBLA hosts competitions at the District, State, and National levels. Viola FBLA has been actively attending the District and State level conferences for decades. 2024 is the first year since 2013 that we qualified for the National competition in Orlando, Florida. See NLC '24 for more information.
