Phi Beta Lambda, a national student organization, promotes business leadership in its members. PBL is a nationally affiliated professional business organization for students and the college counterpart of Future Business Leaders of America. The CCCC PBL Chapter participates in service, fundraising, and scholarly activities as well as competitive events at the state and national PBL conferences. While primarily a business club, PBL is open to students of all majors.

"The chapter members not only compete against other two-year colleges, but four-year colleges and universities from around the country," said chapter lead adviser Michael Fann, CCCC PBL chapter adviser and Business Technologies lead instructor. "The chapter continues to be one of the most recognized chapters in the country and finished as the third largest in the country with 126 active members."

Fann notes that the chapter success comes from the dedication and hard work of each member. "Their drive is unequal and their commitment to the chapter, college, and community is shown continuously with their accomplishments throughout the year," said Fann.
