What type of award is the Business Achievement Award (BAA)?

The Business Achievement Award (BAA) is classified as a leadership award because it is designed to recognize high school students who demonstrate significant leadership skills and commitment to the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) organization and its objectives. The BAA program encourages members to engage actively in their chapters, develop their business-related skills, and take on leadership roles within their communities and schools. This award not only emphasizes the importance of developing leadership abilities but also motivates participants to strive for personal growth and contribute to the success of their chapters, thereby enhancing their overall leadership potential.

While community service, membership, and professional development are important aspects of FBLA, the BAA specifically focuses on the culmination of experiences in leadership through participation in various activities, projects, and competitions that foster these qualities.
