WI FBLA-PBL Foundation Conference Registration Credit
Our conference scholarship funds have been suspended for the 2020-2021 school year. The Wisconsin FBLA-PBL Foundation annually helps to help offset registration costs for economically disadvantaged members. Due to changes in our conference fee structure, we have already significantly reduced and eliminated costs to increase participation for all Wisconsin FBLA members. The FBLA-PBL Foundation has additional program support available to chapters as detailed in their 2020-2021 approved support budget. On behalf of our chapter membership, the Wisconsin FBLA Executive Board thanks the Foundation Directors for their continued service to support, sustain and grow FBLA in our state.
