The board of directors, national officers, and national staff welcome you to this year’s NFLCs. You have demonstrated your commitment to leadership excellence by being here this weekend. Maximize your investment by participating in as many workshops and other activities as you can. CONFERENCE HEADQUARTERS Conference staff will be available in Meeting Room 3 on Friday and Saturday during regular conference hours. NAME BADGES Conference badges must be worn to all conference activities, including the Blue Jeans for Babies Dance. Requests for replacement badges may be made at the registration desk or in conference headquarters. There is a $5 charge for all replacement name badges. This fee must be paid in full onsite. TRAVEL ETIQUETTE If traveling by taxi, ask for the fare before departure. Keep change handy for bellmen and doormen tips and similar situations. Generally, a 15% tip is appropriate for servers and cab drivers for good service. CHAPERONES Chaperones should enforce dress code and curfews, ensure that students attend conference activities, and follow common safety practices. MEMBERS WITH DISABILITIES Members with disabilities add an important dimension to the organization. FBLA‑PBL is committed to working with these members to ensure that they receive maximum benefit from the conference activities. Contact a representative of the national staff if you have particular needs or requirements. CURFEW Delegates at FBLA‑PBL conferences are expected to follow the published curfew times. This requirement is designed both to protect individual delegates and to respect other guests in the hotels we are using for our meetings. Hotel security will enforce the published curfews, which are to be interpreted as being the time by which members should be in their own rooms and quiet for the night. PROHIBITED ITEMS • noisemakers (horns, clappers, etc.) are not allowed at the general sessions • hats, including novelty hats, are prohibited by the FBLA-PBL dress code • selfie sticks, cameras, cell phones, and posters/signs are not allowed on stage 4 #NFLC15SC • Charleston, SC FBLA-PBL DRESS CODE FBLA-PBL members and advisers should develop an awareness of the image one’s appearance projects. The purpose of the dress code is to uphold the professional image of the association and its members and to prepare students for the business world. Appropriate attire is required for all attendees—advisers, members, and guests—at all sessions, meetings, workshops, and other activities unless otherwise stated in the conference program. Conference name badges are part of this dress code and must be worn for all conference functions. For safety reasons, do not wear name badges when touring. Professional attire acceptable for official FBLA-PBL activities includes: FEMALES Business suit with blouse Business pantsuit with blouse Skirt or dress slacks with blouse or sweater Business dress Capris or gauchos with coordinating jacket/suit, worn below the knee Dress shoes MALES Business suit with collared dress shirt and necktie Sport coat, dress slacks, collared shirt, and necktie Dress slacks, collared shirt, and necktie Banded collar shirt may be worn only if sport coat or business suit is worn Dress shoes and socks INAPPROPRIATE ATTIRE (FOR BOTH MEN AND WOMEN) Jewelry in visible body piercing, other than ears; denim or chambray fabric clothing of any kind, overalls, shorts, skorts, stretch or stirrup pants, exercise or bike shorts; backless, see-through, tight‑fitting, spaghetti straps, strapless, extremely short, or low-cut blouses/tops/dresses/skirts; T-shirts, Lycra™, spandex, midriff tops, tank tops, bathing suits; sandals, athletic shoes, industrial work shoes, hiking boots, bare feet, or over-the-knee boots; athletic wear, including sneakers; hats or flannel fabric clothing; bolo ties; visible foundation garments.

Your conduct at every FBLA‑PBL function should make a positive contribution to extending that reputation. Listed here are rules of conduct for FBLA-PBL national conferences. All delegates are expected to: 1. Behave in a courteous and respectful manner, refraining from language and actions that might bring discredit upon themselves, their school, other delegates, advisers, or upon FBLA‑PBL. 2. Obey all local, state, and federal laws. 3. Avoid conduct not conducive to an educational conference. Such conduct includes, but is not limited to, actions disrupting the businesslike atmosphere, association with nonconference individuals, or activities that endanger self or others (running in the general sessions, standing on chairs, using laser pointers during workshops, bodysurfing at dances, etc.) 4. Keep your advisers informed of your activities and whereabouts at all times. Accidents, injuries, and illnesses must be reported to the local or state advisers immediately. 5. Avoid alcoholic beverages (for those under 21 years of age) and controlled or illegal substances of any form. These items must not be used or possessed at any time, or under any circumstances. Use or possession of such substances may subject the delegate to criminal prosecution. 6. Act as guests of the hotel and conference center. Participants must obey the rules of these facilities. The facilities have the right to ask a member or members to leave. Do not throw anything out of windows or over balconies. Do not run down hallways. Noise should be kept at a reasonable volume, especially in the hotels. Remember there are other guests in the hotels who have rights as well. Trash (this includes pizza boxes, bottles, cans, etc.) must be placed in the proper receptacles and not left on guest room or meeting room floors. Individuals or chapters responsible for damages to any property or furnishings will be responsible for its repair or replacement. Local and state advisers are responsible for the supervision of delegate conduct. Disregarding or Violating the Code of Conduct Delegates who disregard or violate this code will be subject to disciplinary action, including, but not limited to, forfeiture of privileges to attend further events, confinement to your hotel room, dismissal from the conference, and being sent home at your own expense. Parents and/or guardians will be notified and FBLA‑PBL reserves the right to notify law enforcement officials. 6 #NFLC15SC • Charleston, SC STATE MEETINGS AT-A-GLANCE SCHEDULE ALPHABETICAL BY STATE If your state is not listed, no state meeting is scheduled for the conference.
