All advisers are expected to share the dress code with their students and take responsibility for making sure their students follow the dress code when at a conference.
All delegates and advisers are expected to wear business attire to general sessions, competitive events, campaigning, and workshops. Competitive event participants will be disqualified if not dressed properly. Conference participants will not be allowed to participate in conference activities if not dressed properly. Georgia FBLA will attempt to monitor dress code at all conference activities. However, advisers are responsible for ensuring that students who attend the conferences are aware and follow the dress code prior to entering any conference function or activity.
By signing the Adviser Assurance Form, you, as the adviser, are accountable for your students’ conduct and dress at the conferences listed above. Event administrators will be asked to enforce the dress code. If questions arise, a member of the board of directors will make the final decision.
