DUES INFORMATION
As a membership organization, FBLA relies on dues to help support the mission. This includes, but is not limited to, program development, resources, training, technology, services to chapters, and event production.
Knowing the exact amount of money to collect per member for dues is critical. When looking at the amount of national ($10) and state dues (varies), also consider if you need to charge a chapter dues fee to cover expenses or membership benefits. Several chapters charge dues that are enough to cover a t-shirt and/or a district/region competition.
DRESS CODE
FBLA members and advisers should develop an awareness of the image one’s appearance projects. The purpose of the dress code is to uphold the professional image of the association and its members and to prepare students for the business world.
Appropriate attire is required for all attendees—advisers, members, and guests—at all general sessions, competitive events, regional meetings, workshops, and other activities unless otherwise stated in a conference program. Conference name badges are part of this dress code and must be worn for all conference functions. For safety reasons, do not wear name badges when touring.
No dress code can cover all contingencies, so FBLA members must use a certain amount of judgment in their choice of clothing to wear. Members who experience uncertainty about unacceptable attire should ask their local or state adviser.
