When did the FBLA professional division begin?

The FBLA professional division began in 1979. This division was established to encourage professional development and networking among business leaders and educators who support the goals and objectives of Future Business Leaders of America. The creation of the professional division reflects the organization's commitment to fostering relationships between students and business professionals, as well as providing opportunities for lifelong learning and engagement with the business community. This is a significant milestone as it allowed for the involvement of former members and those who support the FBLA principles to stay connected and contribute to the growth of future business leaders.
