Phi Beta Lambda is the national postsecondary organization for all students enrolled in business, office, or vocational teacher education programs and who accept the purpose of PBL and subscribe to its creed. The purpose of the organization is to provide opportunities for postsecondary students to develop vocational competencies for business and office occupations and business teacher education. PBL is an important part of the instructional program and promotes a sense of civic and personal responsibility. Through PBL, members learn how to lead and participate in group discussions, preside at meetings and conferences, work effectively with committees, and engage in practical problem solving and decision-making.
