2004 National program Atlanta.qxd - The National Beta Club

Dear Junior Betas: 

Greetings from the 

Executive Director 

Welcome to Nashville—the country music capital of 

the world. What a great venue to hold the 15th 

National Junior Beta Convention! A special thank 

you to our host, the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. Isn’t 

this a magnificent facility? I hope all Beta Club families 

take advantage of the opportunity to visit the 

sights and sounds of Nashville. 

I’d like to give a big “atta’ boy” to our national 

officers who have served so admirably this year. 

They were wonderful ambassadors of The National 

Beta Club as they traveled around the country 

demonstrating the cornerstones of Beta—Leadership, 

Service, Character and Achievement. I’m sure we 

will see these same names changing our country for 

the better in the decades to come. 

Beta state and national conventions, leadership 

summits, and community service projects bring 

together students from all walks of life, socio-economic 

means, and cultural backgrounds. These are 

great opportunities for diversity to be embraced, 

enhanced, and celebrated. Beta is doing its part to 

build a sense of world community which we all so 

desperately need. 

It is my pleasure to serve the greatest group of 

sponsors, chaperones, and parents who make it 

possible for their students to participate in this outstanding 

event. I hope you enjoy the competition and 

fellowship. 

With Warmest Regards, 

Kenneth R. Cline

General Convention Information 

DRESS CODE FOR STUDENTS AND ADULTS: The National 

Junior Beta Club maintains a dress code for all meetings and 

activities at the National Convention. 

Shorts will be allowed at all general sessions as long as they 

meet the following criteria. They must be in good taste and of a 

reasonable length and fit. As a standard, the student should 

wear shorts that are at least as long as the finger tips when the 

student is standing up straight and the arms are at the sides of 

the student’s body. No tight shorts or tops will be allowed. 

Clothes must not be transparent or have holes in them. No cutoffs 

will be allowed. No tank tops or tops with straps of less than 

two inches will be allowed. Clothing must not have any writing 

or symbols that advertise any of the following: alcohol, drugs, 

tobacco, sex or profanity/obscenity. Additionally, there should 

be no references that would inflame any group (for example, 

the confederate flag would be inappropriate.) No bathing suits 

will be allowed. Beta Club or School T-Shirt must be worn to 

attend the dance. As always, hats are not allowed. 

TOBACCO PRODUCTS: NO tobacco products are permitted 

at the convention. 

LASER POINTERS: NO lasers will be permitted during the 

convention. 

Name Badges: Admission to convention sessions and the 

dance is limited to persons wearing the official 2011 convention 

badge. When swimming your name badge should be with 

your personal items at the pool. Replacement badges cost 

$1.00 each.

Welcome From the Office of the Governor 

Dear Friends: 

On behalf of the great State of Tennessee, I am

Again, welcome to Tennessee. Crissy and I

The Beta Convention 

Code of Conduct 

Knowing that any organization is judged largely by 

the behavior of its individual members, we who attend 

the National Beta Club Convention agree that our registering 

at the National Convention constitutes our subscribing 

to the following rules which comprise the Code 

of Conduct. 

Rule #1: 

Each Sponsor is responsible for each and every one 

of his/her students. Therefore, students must keep 

their Sponsor informed of their whereabouts at all 

times. 

Rule #2: 

Betas registered at the Convention should be present 

for all scheduled meetings and on time. 

Rule #3: 

Curfew is promptly at 11:30 PM, unless the Board of 

Directors announces otherwise. This means in your 

own room and respectfully quiet. 

Rule #4: 

Members may visit other members’ rooms only with 

the Sponsor’s knowledge and approval. 

Rule #5: 

No alcoholic beverages, no tobacco products or 

drugs, in any form, shall be possessed by anyone at 

the National Beta Convention. Clothing which advertises 

sex, drugs, tobacco or alcohol will not be permitted. 

Rule #6: 

Everyone attending the Convention is expected to 

wear an official name badge at all times. Admission 

to meetings and convention functions is by name 

badge only. 

Rule #7: 

Each registered Beta is expected to display and exert 

leadership qualities in a responsible manner which 

will lead to the organized success of this convention. 

Betas should conduct themselves in such a manner 

that their actions will reflect favorably on the school 

and community and all of those responsible for providing 

the student with this opportunity. 

We agree that any violation of these rules subjects 

our entire chapter to being sent home and all honors 

and awards forfeited. Serious misconduct on our part 

shall be reported to our Principal and our parents, who 

shall be advised that we are barred from participating in 

future Beta Conventions, and shall constitute grounds 

for the cancellation of our school’s charter of The 

National Junior Beta Club.
