Code of Conduct
FBLA has an excellent reputation. Your conduct at every FBLA function should
make a positive contribution to extending that reputation. Listed here are rules of
conduct for the State Leadership Conference. Professional behavior is expected
at all times. All Advisors are responsible for the supervision of all delegate
conduct. All participants will be expected to:
1. Behave in a courteous and respectful manner (especially at the elevators),
refraining from language and actions that might bring discredit upon
themselves, their school, other delegates, Advisors, or upon FBLA.
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 business-like
atmosphere, association with non-conference individuals, or activities that
endanger self or others (i.e. running in the hallways or conference sessions,
standing on chairs, using laser pointers during workshops, bodysurfing,
throwing items from balconies and windows).
4. Keep your Advisors informed of your activities and whereabouts at all times.
Accidents, injuries and illnesses must be reported to the chapter or state
Advisors immediately.
5. Observe the curfews as listed in the conference program. The hotel has quiet
hours beginning at 9:00 pm. Chapter and State staff, as well as security
personnel, will enforce curfews. Curfew is defined as quietly being in your
own assigned room by the designated hour.
6. Act as guests of the hotel and all conference facilities. Participants must obey
the rules of these facilities. The facilities have the right to ask a delegate or
delegates to leave. Remember, there are other guests in the hotel that 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 charges for repair or replacement.
Disregarding or Violating the Code of Conduct
Participants who disregard or violate this code will be subject to disciplinary
action, including, but not limited to disqualification from competitive events,
forfeiture of privileges to attend further events, confinement to your hotel room,
and dismissal from the conference and being sent home at your own expense.
Parents and/or guardians will be notified and FBLA reserves the right to notify
school administrators and law enforcement.
Don't make plans, make options.

Keynote Presentation
Amanda Hammett. It all began watching helplessly as my life fell apart on
the evening news. Allow me to explain. Fresh out of college at the oh-so-wise
age of 23, a business partner and I started what would quickly become an
international, multi-million dollar business. By my mid-20’s, I had already
accomplished my 2 biggest goals in life…
Make LOTS of $$$$ - Be the BOSS!
I had accomplished everything that
everyone around me told me was success,
but all the money and “success” didn’t
make me happy. For years, I struggled
with the idea of success and wanting even
more in the hopes that more success =
happiness. It wasn’t until a sensationalized world-wide scandal took down
my sports tour business and brought the
world’s news media and the US Secret
Service to my door that I was able to truly
define success on my own terms and in my own way. Of course (as someone who
had never even had a speeding ticket) facing possible jail time does have a
tendency to put things into perspective pretty quickly! From telling my story to
local high school classrooms, to college campuses, and to jam-packed auditoriums
of state student organization conventions, I’ve been on a mission to help students
understand that success is defined by one person…YOU

National Leadership Conference
If you placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th in an on-line test only event, you are eligible
to represent your chapter and Texas in the Awards Program at the
National Leadership Conference in Chicago in June. If you placed 1st, 2nd,
or 3rd in a presentation event, you are also eligible to compete on the
national level. If a higher-placed winner cannot attend, subsequent
winners (through 5th place) will be offered the opportunity to compete
instead until our Texas slate of competitors is filled. Advisors from chapters
with an eligible NLC competitor should download all materials and monitor
our state and national websites (fblatx.org and fbla-pbl.org) for information
on deadlines and entry procedures. Follow the NAP guidelines for national
competition. See YOU in Atlanta this summer!
IMPORTANT!
March 30 (Monday) – Deadline date to notify the State Office if you WILL
or WILL NOT attend the NLC and compete. Please respond as soon as you
know one way or the other so that other potential competitors will have time
to make a decision. Reply to: D’Ann Matlock, FBLA State Advisor –
