FBLA, Future Business Leaders of America, is another club here at Liberty that focuses on business-related subjects including accounting, advertising, journalism, graphic design, and much more. 

FBLA is very similar to DECA, as their testing process is very similar, with a standardized multiple-choice test, often followed by an in-person presentation.
