SCHEDULE CONFLICTS

The Gold Coast Section Leadership Conference is a huge undertaking requiring many volunteers to make the event possible. Every adviser and chaperone is expected to help proctor events. Advisers will be notified of their responsibilities a week prior to the conference. Your help is very much appreciated!

Advisers must submit a grid detailing how there are no conflicts in competitions. All students in the same event must test at the same time, or everyone in that event will be disqualified. Email this information to Eric To (eto@cafbla.org), Gold Coast Section Director, no later than February 8.

CODE OF CONDUCT & MEDICAL RELEASE FORMS

DRESS CODE

The Code of Conduct must be discussed with students attending and Emergency Form signatures obtained prior to the conference. Two copies per student are needed—one to submit at registration and one for the adviser to keep. You may use the emergency medical form provided or your district form. Forms must be submitted at registration before conference materials are obtained.

Dress code for all competitive events, workshops, and sessions held at West Ranch High School is professional attire. This will be strictly enforced. Dress code for the Awards of Excellence program at Magic Moment Theatre inside Six Flags Magic Mountain is either professional attire or business casual attire (i.e. polo shirts).

PHOTO IDENTIFICATION An original, official photo identification, such as driver’s license and school ID, will be required for any student entered in a competitive event. The student must have the ID at the start of the competitive event or he/she will not be allowed to compete—no exceptions! A faxed copy is not acceptable.

WORKSHOPS Workshops will be provided during both Competitive Events Sessions.

MARCH OF DIMES GIFT BASKET RAFFLE

WHO’S WHO IN FBLA

Each chapter is highly encouraged to bring a nicely packaged basket of interesting products, which will be used for the March of Dimes Gift Basket Raffle. These Gift Basket donations can be for students only, for advisers only, or for both depending on the contents and cost.

The Who’s Who in FBLA recognition starts at the section level. Each chapter may nominate one member (in addition to any section/state officers) from their school. One winner per section will be considered for the state winner along with the state officers. All chapter nominees will be recognized at the State Leadership Conference. Submit all nominations via email to Eric To (eto@cafbla.org), Gold Coast Section Director, no later than February 1.

Be creative! Have a catchy theme for your basket. Baskets should have an accumulated value between $20 and $30. This is an excellent way to encourage member participation in putting together your basket.

Be sure to attach a tag to your basket with the following information:

• • • •

Title School List of items in basket Value of basket

Drop off all baskets at the Conference Headquarters at Conference Registration. All baskets will be displayed and all participants are invited to visit the raffle table throughout the day to purchase raffle tickets for your favorite baskets. Winners will be drawn and announced during the Awards of Excellence program at the Magic Moment Theatre in Six Flags Magic Mountain.

OUTSTANDING LOCAL CHAPTER ADVISER AWARD The Outstanding Local Chapter Adviser award starts at the section level. Each chapter may nominate an adviser. One adviser will be selected from the Gold Coast Section for this award. The official form is available in the California Awards Program. Applications are due via email to Eric To (eto@cafbla.org), Gold Coast Section Director, no later than February 1.

PARADE OF PRESIDENTS & PRIORITY SEATING Chapter Presidents are invited to represent their chapter on stage at the Awards of Excellence program in the Parade of Presidents.
