ADVISER & CHAPERONE REGISTRATION
Be sure to review FBLA's Chaperone Policy prior to completing your registration.
Are your chaperones covering students from multiple schools? Blue Panda will not let you submit your registration unless your group meetings the required ratios for chaperones. If you are not able to assign chaperones accordingly, please email conferences@fbla.org with the names of the groups that are travelling together and the names of the chaperones. We will manually bypass the requirement on the backend for you to ensure you are not double charged.
Example: Chaperone 1 is travelling with 2 students from Langston Hughes Middle School and 1 student from South Lakes High School. Add Chaperone 1 to the registration for Langston Hughes Middle School and then email conferences@fbla.org with the chaperone's name and let them know they will be chaperoning both schools and needs to be added to the South Lakes registration. Please do not send your email until all students have been added for both schools.
Click on the drop-down next to 'Event' and select the event that you need to register a student for.
IMPORTANT - All students must be deemed eligible to compete for a given event by your state leader. Please be sure to connect with your state leader to confirm student eligibility. State leaders will have final say regarding which students can compete at the national conference.
Click on the drop-down next to 'Local Voting Delegate #1' and select which attendee will serve as a delegate. Repeat for up to 4 delegates depending on the number of delegates your chapter qualifies to send.
