In order to get more people involved in the Business Achievement Awards (BAA) and to celebrate Career and Technical Education Month, this scoreboard ranks states based on BAA awards completed, with a weighted scale of 1 for each Future award, 2 for each Business award, 3 for each Leader award and 4 for each America award. Each state is equally weighted, giving every state -- regardless of membership size -- the opportunity to win. The top ten states will receive certificates of recognition at the NLC Regional meetings.
 
The Business Achievement Awards (BAA) are an aggressive, self-directed, results-based business and leadership program designed to compliment academics while accelerating a student's leadership skills. The awards focus on the words surrounding the FBLA Crest: Service, Education, and Progress. There is a heavy emphasis on education with integrated classroom projects.

The individual recognition is a four-tier program (Future, Business, Leader, America) aligned with the FBLA-PBL Goals, NBEA Standards, and Career Clusters. The individual program has a March 1 deadline for the first three levels and an April 25 deadline for the America award.

In addition to receiving their America level pin at the National Leadership Conference, all recipients of this award who attend the NLC will receive America ribbons and certificates of recognition.

The local adviser determines a member's ability to advance in award levels. Advisers should allow students to advance to higher levels when tasks at the lower levels have been completed and/or if timing is appropriate. Students may complete as many levels as they wish, upon adviser approval, in a one-year time period. Work and documentation will be completed online through interactive forms. Activities not completed in one year may be carried over into the next year. Projects completed for each level must be different.
