Successful Saturday for FBLA Members!

Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) is a non-profit organization established across our country which is designed to prepare students for accomplishment and success in business leadership. Members of FBLA go to  leadership conferences, go on business tours, get involved in leadership opportunities, and participate in service projects and fundraisers. At our school, they are responsible for running the dodgeball tournament, selling doughnuts before school, and running the school store, to name a few of their jobs. They also compete in competitive events of their choosing. There are 75 different events to compete in at the regional, state, and national level. At these leadership conferences, FBLA members have the opportunity to attend workshops led by business professionals, meet people from all over, and of course compete in their competitive event.

“The best part of being involved in FBLA is the interaction with other people. Through the teamwork and collaboration it feels like I’m learning more about myself through other people.” -Jacob Gaspervich

On Saturday, February 4, Muskego FBLA had the privilege to host the Region VII FBLA Leadership Conference. Congratulations to Mady Becker, the WI FBLA Region VII Vice President, who coordinated and hosted this event.
