Future Business Leaders of America

“As a member for nearly a decade in FBLA throughout high school and college, participating in this historic organization shaped many of my educational and life experiences. I learned the value of leadership, starting as chapter secretary and working my way to state president and national delegate. Through competition and team building, I gained a vast network of associates, colleagues, and lifelong friends. One of my favorite parts about FBLA is being able to travel and meet people from many walks of life. Learning about technology as it pertains to entrepreneurship continues to add value to my life each day.”

Travon Rougely
Class of 2015, Associate of Arts
