The Future Business Leaders of America, or FBLA, is an American career and technical student organization (CTSO) headquartered in Reston, Virginia.

The name "Future Business Leaders of America" was selected in 1940 and two years later the first chapter was created at Science Hill High School in Johnson City, Tennessee.

In 1958, PBL (now FBLA Collegiate) was founded with the first chapter at the University of Northern Iowa.

These regions are Western, Mountain Plains, North Central, Southern, and Eastern.

Future Business Leaders of America is one of the largest student organizations in the United States.

FBLA High School is separated into five regions: Eastern, Southern, North Central, Mountain Plains, and Western.

In a similar fashion to other closely related CTSOs, competition is an integral part of the operation of FBLA.

These competitions are offered to all levels of membership in a wide variety of topics, such as Information Technology, Business, and Marketing.

Under normal circumstances, an individual or team must first compete in a Regional competition provided by their state.

National officers are responsible for representing the entire membership as well as designing and implementing the annual program of work to achieve FBLA's goals.

[10] National officers also are assisted by a team of 5 members on a 'National Council' representing their position.
