FBLA Case Study

Superior Essays
Why did Dr. Hamden L. Forkner establishes the concept of FBLA in 1937 at Columbia University? Why did he go through the process to forge a club that is now the largest career student business organization in the world? Why have over 230,000 chosen to join this club and better prepare themselves for a career in business? I think it’s because Dr. Forkner was looking towards the future, and he saw future men and women that can, and will, be very successful in the realm of business. FBLA’s mission is to bring business and education together in a positive working relationship through innovative leadership and career development programs.With that being said, FBLA has been successful for about 75 years now, with Big names like Bill Clinton, Bill and Melinda Gates, and even NBA star Lebron James. The young adults that participate in FBLA sign up for furthering their walk of leadership and business.

I have developed actual feelings and the urgency to help others in need. This program can produce more business leaders if members open up opportunities for them. Everyone deserves a shot at success. Everyone has untapped potential that may need a little help to reach. Everyone can be a leader in whatever they choose. This organization has opened up potential inside of me. I can still remember the boy that thought he wouldn´t be on a stage, presenting a speech to others. I wouldn't be serving my community and affecting the attitude of others around me. Without FBLA. I would be on the wrong path and not knowing what I wanted to do with my life. I know there are others that can turn out to be great business leaders of America. So, let's do it. Let's go and find the Future Business Leaders of America. Let's become a better organization together. Let's continue to grow in numbers and broaden our horizons. Let's work to become better,

    When I first joined FFA, I had no idea of the impact it would have on me. Funnily enough, I originally thought of it just as a stepping stool into become a veterinarian- obviously plans have changed. And although my original goal and reason for joining has changed, I’m grateful that I did join, because FFA has impacted me in more ways than one. It goes beyond other experiences because as far as an educational experience goes, it has taught me a great deal than I ever expected. FFA has gone beyond just teaching me about cows, plants, and farming, it’s taught me business, life and leadership skills.…

    Being the co-founder of a club is a challenge that can be overcomed with strong resilience skills and the desire to pursue a clear goal. When my partner and I were thinking about starting something new, we focused on things that we either cared about or enjoyed doing. Since we were both undocumented, I brought up the idea of creating a club that would unite students together regardless of their citizenship status. As a result, we created the Latinos United Club. In my mind I pictured a club that will balance educational and cultural support.…

    Many experiences in my life have changed my views in multiple ways, but by far the most life changing experience has to be when I was elected Daingerfield District Vice-President for the FFA. This experience has broadened my comfort zone of shyness and unconfidence, and as the FFA Opening Ceremonies say, it brought me “into the glorious sunlight of brotherhood and cooperation.” I finally began to realize after Greenhand Camp, my freshman year, that I might have a potential future in the FFA. With the support of my chapter, friends, family and much devoted prayer, I was able to accomplish my fears and officially announce that I was running for District Officer.…
