History
The FBLA concept was developed in 1937 by Dr. Hamden L. Forkner of Columbia University. In the fall of 1940, official sponsorship of FBLA was accepted by the National Council for Business Education; on February 3, 1942, the first high school chapter was chartered in Johnson City, Tennessee.
In 1981 the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation provided land in Reston, Virginia to build the FBLA headquarters; the site opened in 1991.
More than 250,000 active members participate in more than 13,000 chartered chapters in 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, U.S. Territories, and Department of Defense Dependent Schools worldwide.
