Who's Who
This award honors exemplary FBLA members who have made outstanding contributions to the association at the local, state, and national levels. Each state may enter one participant who is a member
of an active local chapter and on record as of paying dues by March 1 of the current school year for
recognition at the National Leadership Conference. The entry form must be completed by the State
Chairman or designee. Criteria for selection of nominees by the state chapter should include: years of
participation in FBLA and/or PBL activities; extent of participation in state and national conferences;
contributions to local, state, and national projects; and participation in other activities.
Business Achievement Awards
The Business Achievement Awards (BAA) are the central platform for students to earn recognition for
their developing leadership skills. FBLA students enhance their leadership skills, expand their business
knowledge, contribute to their local communities, and earn recognition by immersing themselves
in their school, community, and FBLA programs through the Business Achievement Awards. High
school students create a portfolio of real-world accomplishments and develop their business and
leadership skills across four levels: Future, Business, Leader, and America.
One local chapter and one state chapter in each region that have the most BAA award recipients
receive national recognition.
*BAA Fight to the Finish
BAA Fight to the Finish launches during FBLA-PBL Week. Each week states are ranked according to
how many BAA awards are received. This ends on April 1. The top three chapters receive preferred
seating at the National Leadership Conference.
The activities have been updated to ensure that they meet the needs of members whether in person
or online learning settings and meet many of the NBEA Standards and Career Clusters. Get Started

TO CELEBRATE

FBLA Week
FBLA-PBL sets aside a full week in February each year as National FBLA-PBL Week. Chapters
are encouraged to use this time to publicize activities and successes, boost their membership,
and gear up for their spring activities.
Many chapters plan special activities for each day of the week. These include everything from FBLA-PBL Professional Attire Day to Spirit Day. View the calendar section to see what special celebrations
will be happening nationally during this week
As FBLA-PBL Week coincides each year with National Career and Technical Education Month,
this is an excellent time to inform the public about the purpose of school-to-work activities
and programs through exhibit booths, visits to legislators, tours of businesses and education
departments, and word of mouth.
