On December 3, 1959, the Redwood Chapter of Future Business Leaders of America, Chapter No. 2068, was started by Ms. Maxine White.  The membership, which started with twenty-five students, has continued to grow throughout the years under the direction of long-standing adviser Ms. Doris Lowe.  The chapter developed into a section of power under Ms. Lowe's leadership and passion. Mr. Jacob Avila, the present chapter adviser, began to guide the Redwood Chapter in January 2008.  Chapter membership in 2021-2022 has risen to over one hundred and thirty members. Redwood FBLA is currently in its 62nd year. Chapter Bylaws can be found here.
