REMINDERS!

►Competitors who enter district events (but do not qualify for state competition) cannot be entered into the state/national only individual or team events so that they would have a “second chance” to compete at the state level.

►Members cannot compete in events for which they qualified to compete at the NLC during any prior year (see event guidelines in the Local Chapter Management Handbook for exceptions for team events).

►Members in sequenced events cannot drop back to compete in a lower level. For example, Accounting II competitors in previous years cannot drop back to Accounting I; competitors in Business Communications cannot drop back to Introduction to Business Communications.

►The District I Spring Leadership Conferences are limited to Senior High FBLA members only. There is a Middle Level (Junior High) conference that better meets the needs of your sixth, seventh, and eighth graders (as well as ninth graders registered as Middle Level members).

►Guests include adult chaperones and school officials. This classification cannot be extended to students. Please advise guests of the dress code. They, too, must adhere to official dress code guidelines.

►Please refer to guidelines found in the National FBLA Handbook for instructions for labeling folders, number of copies needed, addresses, etc. Note that there is a special format that must be used for the Who’s Who résumé (as detailed in the Arkansas FBLA Handbook).
