The Fort Lewis College American Indian Business Leaders (FLC AIBL) chapter was founded September of 1998 by Al Slowman (Current President) . Although FLC AIBL is a new organization it has recruited many dedicated members, who have helped it to become one the most successful of three Native American clubs on campus this year next to AISES.

The highlight of this trimester will be a trip to the AIBL National Conference (See Tentative Agenda) in Billings Montana that is scheduled for March of 1999.

The American Indian Business Leaders (AIBL) is a student-based organization designed to support and promote the American Indian business student and entrepreneur. Future trends dictate a rise in the need for educated American Indian people to assist with tribal economic development planning and strategic implementation. AIBL's primary focus is to use its student foundation to stimulate tribal economic growth and stability through an emphasis in maintaining culturally appropriate American Indian business development.
AIBL comprises primarily business students seeking practical experience to compliment their academic studies. To accomplish this objective, AIBL is interested in securing internship placement opportunities for its members with:
Our survival as American Indian people is determined in part by our tribal economic environments. We believe the stronger our tribal infrastructures, the stronger all American Indian people will be, socially, politically and most of all culturally. We are committed to supporting and promoting American Indian business students and entrepreneurs, who will ultimately help eliminate our oppressed tribal economic environments by designing effective, culturally appropriate American Indian businesses.
