Seven Springs, Pennsylvania 1 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

March 29, 2004

Dear Future Business Leaders: Welcome to the 53rd annual Pennsylvania Future Business Leaders of America State Leadership Conference. FBLA members, this is it! This is the “Final Four,” the Super Bowl and the World Series of PA FBLA all wrapped up in one. Just like those championships, that feeling of winning is fantastic. Having made it this far shows that you are a winner. As author H. Jackson Brown, Jr. said, “Life doesn’t require that we be the best, only that we try our best. In one way, however, this is even better than those championships. Unlike those events, if you win in your event during this conference, you can continue to participate at the FBLA National Leadership Conference in Denver, Colo- rado, in July. In addition to the dozens of competitive events, this SLC will give us the opportunity to choose the state officer team who will lead PA FBLA next year. Don’t forget to attend the outstanding workshops that have been planned and to try your luck at one or more of the “open” events that will be offered to all members. Good luck everyone! Enjoy the conference.

Sincerely,

Brett Hollister PA FBLA State President

2 Future Business Leaders of America DELEGATE CODE OF CONDUCT

One of the goals of FBLA is to facilitate the transition from school to work. Individual conduct and appearance are a part of that training. It is a special privilege to attend an FBLA conference, and it is the responsibility of all delegates to conduct themselves in a proper, businesslike manner at all times.
