Nebraska FBLA-PBL was formed as a single organization in 1962. The chapter began with the following state officer positions: President; High School and College Vice Presidents; Corresponding and Recording Secretaries; Treasurer; and Reporter. The first State Leadership Conference was held in March 1962 where three FBLA chapters, four PBL chapters, and delegates from four other schools were represented. The first PBL chapter was the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, which received its charter from the Kansas State Teachers College from Emporia on October 25, 1962.
