GENERAL INFORMATION 

Conference Headquarters 

Headquarters is located in the Red Lion Hotel at the Park. 

Hotel Information 

The conference hotels have a 3 p.m. check-in time. All hotels have 

a noon check-out time. 

All hotels have baggage storage areas and would be happy to store 

your baggage before check-in time and while you’re attending 

Saturday’s session. You must be checked out of your rooms prior 

to the closing session on Saturday unless your hotel has approved 

an extension. 

Please remember that not all guests are with our conference, and 

they have the right to a pleasant hotel experience. In respect of their 

comfort, a quiet time of 10 p.m. will be enforced on all sleeping 

fl o ors of all hotels. 

Code of Conduct/Image 

All conference attendees have read and signed the Code of Conduct 

form, which is in the possession of your adviser/chaperone. We 

represent an outstanding career and technical student organization 

and project the image of the future leaders we are. Thoughtful 

planning and professional behavior result in a pleasant and 

rewarding conference. We maintain a tradition of excellence 

through exhibiting superior behavior and appearance wherever we 

gather! 

Restaurants and Food Credits 

The Spokane area has many fast-food, casual, and fine-dining 

restaurants. Reservations are suggested in finer restaurants. Don’t 

forget to tip for service. Fifteen to twenty percent is recommended 

for good service. A general rule of thumb is to look at the tax on 

your bill and double it. 

There will be breakfast and lunch buffets at the Red Lions and 

Doubletree for FBLA members and advisers. 

Dress Code 

Appropriate business attire is required for all members, advisers, 

and staff during the business hours of 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. as 

well as during all general sessions, regional meetings, and other 

conference activities unless otherwise noted in the conference 

program. Dress code monitors are on duty during conference 

events. 

For men: Slacks, dress shirt and tie, or slacks, banded collar 

shirt with sport coat or business suit. Suit or sport coat is 

preferred. Dress shoes and socks are required. 

For women: Suit, pants suit, dress, or skirt with blouse/ 

sweater/blazer, and appropriate dress shoes required. Capris 

or gauchos with coordinating jacket/suit, worn below the 

knee. 

Denim may be worn for caucusing and the dances only. Conference 

t-shirts and wrist bands are required for all evening conference 

activities. 

Identification 

SBLC attendees will be identified by name badges as well as wrist 

bands. The wrist band fastens on with a snap closure. It’s meant to 

stay on your wrist for the duration of the conference and is not to 

2013 FBLA State Business Leadership Conference 

be shared with others. The name badge identifies you individually. 

The wrist band identifies you as a conference attendee and will 

protect you from uninvited guests as members without wrist bands 

will not be admitted into conference activities. Wrist bands must 

be worn with the conference t-shirt to attend the karaoke and the 

dance. 

Chaperones and Curfews 

Washington State FBLA requires an in-state adviser/chaperone to 

student ratio of 1 to 10 for overnight travel. Advisers/chaperones, 

please enforce curfews. This means students must be in their rooms 

at stated times. Students outside their rooms after curfews must be 

with an adviser/chaperone. Curfew is 11:30 p.m. on Thursday and 

Friday. Please enforce curfew for all students, not just your own. 

We are all here to help each other! 

INB Performing Arts Center 

Seating at general sessions will be by region and has been assigned 

randomly. A copy of the seating diagram is available outside 

conference headquarters. 

Exhibit Booths 

Exhibits will be held in the Red Lion Hotel at the Park Tower 

Prefunction areafrom 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday and from 

9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday. Be sure to visit the exhibit area and see 

our professional and college exhibitors! 

Silent Auction 

Visit the Professional Division’s Silent Auction in the Exhibit area 

for students and in Ballroom D for adults. 

For Your Safety 

• Do not wear name badges outside the hotels and INB 

Performing Arts Center for non-conference activities, but 

please keep your wrist band on. 

• Check the location of the nearest fire exit to your room. 

• Notify your family of your hotel room numbers as soon 

as possible. 

• Secure valuables in the hotel safety deposit box. Cellular 

phones are to be turned off while you attend conference 

activities! 

• Travel in groups of three or more! If approached by a 

stranger, walk away without conversing. 

• Do not give money to anyone you do not know. 

• Use the peep hole in your room door and do not open the 

door unless you can identify your visitor. 

• Use the chain locks on the door when in your room. 

• Have your room key ready before reaching your room. 

• Remember that Spokane is a city; please travel in groups 

when outside of the hotel. 

Dance Conduct 

As an FBLA member at this conference, it is important to 

remember that professionalism does not stop once your events are 

over. Therefore, we are reminding all members that inappropriate 

dancing is not allowed at any FBLA sponsored dances. 

Inappropriate dance behavior includes moshing, slam dancing, freak 

dancing, or any lewd or sexually explicit displays or anything that 

could be construed as inappropriate touching. If any of the above 

5

GENERAL INFORMATION 

conducts are observed, you will be asked to leave the dance. If the 

general atmosphere at the dance reflects inappropriate behavior, 

the dance will be shut down and students sent to their room for an 

early curfew. Please remember that you are FBLA members and 

are expected to act in a professional manner at all times. Your 

conference t-shirt and wrist band will be your admission to the 

dance. 

The Voting Session 

On Saturday morning, voting delegates will arrive at the designated 

time to be seated in the front section of the INB. Those wishing 

to observe the voting session may sit in the back after voting 

delegates are seated. 

The general assembly should be quiet upon entering the voting 

session. The general assembly may be seated only in the back to 

observe the process of voting. Members should not be going in and 

out of the room. Please plan on staying in the room once you are 

in and seated. 

After the voting session has been completed, there will be a 

short recess after which voting delegates are allowed to join their 

chapters in the appropriate assigned section. Once the Awards of 

Excellence session has started, we ask that all members remain in 

their seats and stay for the entire session. 

If you plan to attend the National Leadership Conference, or are 

an award winner, it is very important that you attend the meeting 

following the Awards of Excellence ceremony. All top 5 winners 

must show a “Y” for YES in the National Eligible column of the 

Chapter Members chart on our Registration System. This will 

assist the state office knowing if winners plan to compete at NLC 

or relinquish their National competitive place to the next winner. 

Anyone planning on attending NLC MUST notify the State Office 

by Friday, May 3. 

Shuttle Service 

Shuttles are being provided and will be available for all tours. 

Clock Hours 

OSPI has approved 15 clock hours for this conference. In order to 

receive clock hours, you must sign up at the Registration counter 

at the Red Lion Hotel at the Park to receive your conference 

evaluation form. After attending both general sessions and 

workshops, you must complete the evaluation form in order 

to get your signed Inservice Registration Form for clock hours. 

Inservice Registration Forms will be available at the conclusion of 

the Awards Session. 

K EYNOTE S PEAKER 

H OAN DO 

Raised by poor immigrant parents who nearly lost their lives to escape the Vietnam 

War, Hoan Do understood at a young age the importance of sacrifice and hard 

work. After being accepted to Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, 

Hoan concentrated on succeeding so he could in return take care of his parents. 

With the tremendous pressure Hoan placed on himself, in addition to the stresses of 

being a college student, he found himself hitting rock bottom. Refusing to settle and give 

up, Hoan used this experience as a turning point in his life. 

Immediately after graduating from college, Hoan beat out candidates who were 

considerably older and vastly more experienced than him to work with the number one 

personal development company in the world. As a national speaker and corporate trainer, 

Hoan conducted training sessions for distinguished audiences that included: Coldwell 

Banker, Century 21, Bank of America, Honda, Toyota, UBS Financial, Chambers of 

Commerce, and for the U.S. Army. 

For the past five years, Hoan has been fiercely committed to sharing practical advice 

that will help students to succeed in and out of school. He is the recipient of the Verizon 

Wireless Motivator Award and was named the Best Youth Mentor by the International 

Examiner.
