What is FBLA?



Welcome! The Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) is a new club offered at Komachin Middle School. The Komachin chapter of the FBLA is connected to the State and National organizations that work to connect students to business opportunities and to their local communities.

The Komachin FBLA chapter meetings take place at 8 am on the first Thursday of each month, in room 206. We also meet on Tuesdays, during lunches to plan service projects and to work together towards building a closer-knit chapter. Everyone is welcome to attend the Tuesday work sessions, but must be a paid member to attend the monthly meetings.

  • FBLA National goal: The purpose of FBLA is to provide, as an integral part of the instruction program, opportunities for students to develop vocational and career competencies and to promote civic and personal responsibilities. FBLA goals are oriented to: Develop competent, aggressive business leadership.
  • Komachin Chapter goal: Learn basic fundraising, compete at state and local events, connect with business partners, with a focus on inspiring community service & charities (POW).
  • Program of Work (POW): inspiring community service & charities (community is Komachin)
