What is the purpose of the Institute for Leaders in relation to FBLA-PBL?

The purpose of the Institute for Leaders is primarily to prepare and equip members and advisers. This program focuses on developing leadership skills, enhancing professional competencies, and fostering personal growth among FBLA-PBL members. By attending the institute, participants gain valuable insights into effective leadership practices, networking opportunities, and practical skills that they can apply in their activities within FBLA-PBL and beyond.

This emphasis on preparation and equipping aligns with the overall mission of FBLA-PBL, which is to prepare students for careers in business and to encourage leadership development. While fundraising events, selection of national officers, and oversight of chapter activities are important functions within the organization, they do not reflect the core focus of the Institute for Leaders, which is centered on education and skill-building for future leaders.
