In which year did FBLA-PBL start holding separate leadership conferences?

FBLA-PBL began holding separate leadership conferences in 1968, marking a significant milestone in the organization’s development. This separation allowed for more tailored programming and activities that addressed the diverse needs of high school and collegiate business students, facilitating leadership training that was more relevant to each group. The ability to hold distinct conferences helped to enhance the educational experience for participants, promoting leadership skills and providing opportunities for networking and professional development that were appropriate for their respective stages in education. This strategic decision was instrumental in shaping the direction of FBLA-PBL, allowing each division to focus on its unique goals and member needs.
