WELCOME TO WASHINGTON, D.C.! The 2014 National Fall Leadership Conferences (NFLCs) are designed to help you Step Up to the Challenge in the coming year! 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.
GENERAL INFORMATION CONFERENCE HEADQUARTERS Conference staff will be available in the Cabinet Room at the Washington Hilton on Friday and Saturday during regular conference hours. NAME BADGES Conference badges must be worn to all conference activities, including the social event. Requests for replacement badges may be made at the registration desk or in conference headquarters. There is a $5 charge for a replacement name badge. 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 The National Association of Secondary School Principals requires adult chaperones for high school students attending conferences such as this one. FBLA-PBL requires compliance with this policy. 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.

FBLA‑PBL CODE OF CONDUCT FBLA-PBL members have an excellent reputation. Your conduct at every FBLA-PBL function should make a positive contribution to extending that reputation. Listed here are rules of conduct for the National Fall Leadership Conference. 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
