Attend a National Leadership Conference. Nothing can pump you up like walking into a room of 6,000 high school students cheering at the top of their lungs for their state and FBLA! The energy you feel will inspire you!

At the same time, you can choose from over 50 competitive and skills events from the areas of technology, public speaking, business, finance, and management. You may finish as the very best in the nation, win recognition, and win cash from our sponsored events!

TiE Young Entrepreneurs

The Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE) is just starting a 10,000 dollar business plan competition aimed at High School students called TiE Young Entrepreneurs (TYE). This program has already been running successfully in Boston for the last four years and the Seattle Chapter is now trying to bring the same competition to the Puget Sound area. You can find out more about the Seattle TiE competition here: seattle.tie.org.

The TYE program aims to inspire young people to discover the rewards and challenges of entrepreneurship. The program is divided into two parts an education program that designed to help high school students learn how to be entrepreneurs through an extensive curriculum, taught by established industry leaders and an associated business plan competition. Through the program students will come up with an idea, develop it into a viable, scalable business model and then present the business plan to a group of judges, comprising of VCs and established entrepreneurs to compete as a team in a Business Plan competition. We also have a number of scholarships available for students who are interested in the program but are unable to participate because of financial constraints.
