The concept for Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) was developed in 1937 and the first high school chapter was chartered in Tennessee in 1942. In 1958, the first collegiate chapter of FBLA Collegiate was chartered in Iowa. The FBLA Middle School division was started in 1994 for students in grades 5-9. The Alumni & Professional Network, to be established in 2021, is rooted in the former Professional Division (originally the Alumni Division) which began in 1979.
SSES FLBLA is a group of students and advisers who are striving to learn and grow. Not only in business concepts, but other skills as well such as leadership, teamwork, public speaking, and more. We are "Gearing Up for Greatness".
