For more than 60 years, FBLA-PBL (Future Business Leaders of America) Inc. has helped high school, middle school and post secondary students sucessfully make the school-to-career transition. FBLA-PBL produces results, including: character, leadership, good citizenship, financial skills and marketing management skills, and global marketing knowledge. Each year, more than 250,000 students are gaining ability today for their personal and professional development. This orginization is non-profit. At this time we are requesting any financial support available to help us towards transportation, registration, and hotel costs for our students to attend the 2009 State Leadership Conference in Santa Clara, CA on April 23-26.
The Eisenhower High School Future Business Leaders of America chapter has been sucessful for over 30 years. The chapter competes at section, state,and national levels. But lately, our chapter has encountered numerous financial obstacles due to budget cuts and restrictions in types of fundraising. This has greatly hindered out community involvement activity and career development for the future entrepreneurs in the Rialto community.
