Background Statement
The Colorado Chapter of Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) was first organized in 1962 by John Binnion. Colorado was chartered with the national office June 15, 1963, as state chapter number 33. The organization was created as a result of the increasing interest in business education on the part of the high school students throughout the state and on the interest expressed by business, teachers, and community leaders. Through FBLA, all sought to emphasize the importance of business and the role it plays in the lives of all people.
Colorado FBLA's first official chapter was at Loveland High School (Charter 232) and Colorado PBL's first official chapter was at Adams State College (Charter 1576) and Colorado FBLA Middle Level's first official chapter was Platte Valley Middle School.
All career and technical business education programs in the State of Colorado must provide an opportunity for their students to participate in a student leadership organization. This organization is the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA). Its primary purpose is to develop leadership characteristics in each student for his/her career, home, and community.
Colorado FBLA is the largest state within the Mountain Plains Region with over 6,000 members in over 170 chapters.
