2009 National Leadership Conference 

Conference Guidelines 

All delegates should review these guidelines with 

their state adviser and/or their adult leaders at 

their state meetings by Sunday, July 12. 

• Name badges are required for admission 

and must be worn when attending 

sessions. Replacement badges are 

$5.00. 

• Please be on time for all sessions and 

remain until sessions are adjourned. 

• Wristbands for FCCLA’s Lakeside 

Beach Party and Gala must be worn 

to these events without exception. If 

your wristband is misplaced, you must 

verify your ticket purchase at the FCCLA 

Registration Desk. There will be a $5.00 

charge to replace lost wristbands. This 

policy will be strictly enforced. 

• Please do not take pictures during 

general sessions or STAR Events 

recognition sessions. 

Announcements 

• Only announcements that apply to the 

entire delegation will be made at general 

sessions. Advance approval is required. 

• State announcements must be made at 

state meetings. 

Guests 

• All guests should be directed to the 

FCCLA Registration Desk. 

Elevator Etiquette 

• Students should be courteous to others 

in hotel elevators. 

• Keep voices at low levels. 

• Let people exit elevators before entering. 

• Do not push buttons for unnecessary 

floors. 

• Do not over fill the elevators beyond 

posted capacities. 

Travel Safety Tips 

• Never travel alone, stay with groups and 

walk in public, well-lit areas. 

• Avoid being out after dark unless you are 

with an adult chaperone. 

• Do not walk down back streets, alleys, or 

in secluded areas at any time.

• Do not talk or give money to strangers. 

• Remove name badges when outside the 

hotel and conference facility unless you 

are on a tour or participating in an FCCLA 

activity. 

• Never give your hotel room number to 

anyone you do not know. 

• Bolt your hotel room door. Only open it 

when you know who is on the other side. 

(Note: All hotel personnel wear uniforms 

and have an identification badge. If in 

doubt, call the hotel security to come and 

verify the employee’s identity.) 

• Know where the stairs are located in 

case of a fire (do not use the elevators). 

Also, count the number of doors to the 

nearest exit in case you can’t see in a 

smoke-filled hallway. 

• Valuables, airline tickets, expensive 

electronics, and money should be kept in 

an in-room safe or a hotel safety deposit 

box. They are available at the hotel 

registration desk. 

Dress Policy 

The National Leadership Conference is an 

excellent opportunity for members to convey 

to others the positive, professional image 

of FCCLA. Members’ behavior in the hotel 

and throughout the National Leadership 

Conference is the only image others in the 

hotel and host city may ever have of our 

organization. Student conduct and dress 

should contribute to the positive, professional 

image of FCCLA. Today’s school attire is not 

always appropriate for the National Leadership 

Conference and the hotel setting. Delegates 

not adhering to the dress policy will not 

be admitted into any session. Advisers are 

responsible for enforcing the dress policy. 

• The FCCLA official blazer is always 

appropriate and STRONGLY encouraged. 

• Appropriate dress for general sessions, 

conference sessions, and the STAR 

Events recognition sessions include: 

slacks and dress shirts for males; 

dresses, skirts, blouses, and dress pants 

for females. 

• Jeans, denim (including skirts), shorts, 

sweatpants, and T-shirts (including 

conference logo T-shirts) are not 

appropriate attire for any session, 

workshop, or the FCCLA Gala. 

• Appropriate casual dress (including jeans, 

denim, shorts, and T-shirts) is acceptable 

for the FCCLA Lakeside Beach Party and 

Feed The Children event. 

• Bathing suits should only be worn in 

the pool area or at the FCCLA Lakeside 

Beach Party. 

• Semi-formal dress is suggested for the 

FCCLA Gala. 

• Night wear (pajamas) should not be worn 

outside of your hotel room. 

• Shoes should be worn at all times. 

and Remember... 

• Conference attendees may not purchase, 

possess, consume, or be under the 

influence of illegal drugs or alcohol at any 

time. Violators will be subject to stringent 

disciplinary action. 

• No smoking is allowed during the 

National Leadership Conference. 

• Be considerate of sleeping hours and the 

privacy of other hotel guests and FCCLA 

members. Conference delegates have a 

midnight curfew. 

• The adviser in charge of the chapter 

or state group is responsible for the 

behavior and safety of the members. 

Inappropriate behavior may result in 

delegates being sent home at their own 

expense. 

• Check your room carefully before 

departure. Be sure all personal 

belongings have been removed.

Dr. Barry Z. Posner, Ph.D. 

Described as a groundbreaking research study, The Leadership Challenge combines 

keen insights with practical applications and captures both why and how leadership 

is everyone’s business. The authors’ latest book, The Student Leadership Challenge 

lays the foundation for The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership for high school 

and college students, incorporating real stories and examples of great leadership 

from students around the world. The corresponding Leadership Practices Inventory 

(LPI) and Student Leadership Practices Inventory (Student LPI) effectively measure 

leadership behaviors, and has been called “the most reliable, up-to-date leadership 

instruments available today.”
