HIGHLIGHTS
Keynote Speaker
John Beede
@johnbeede
Professional speaker, author, and adventurer John Beede has been struck by lightning, was attacked by a five-foot iguana, swam with a whale shark, nearly fell 800 feet to his death, and once did the hokey-pokey in the eye of a hurricane. John’s recent climb to the summit of Mount Everest was featured on TV’s 60 Minutes and earned him the nickname “The Climber Guy.” The success and leadership strategies you’ll learn are based on his highly-acclaimed books, Climb On! Success Strategies for Teens and The Mini-Manual for Becoming Super Awesome. John has built and sold multiple companies while travelling to 46 countries on six continents. He has instructed rock climbing, white-water rafting, wilderness survival, sailing, mountaineering, and participated in dozens of expeditions and adventures around the world. John’s integration of his outdoor adventure stories and his powerful success strategies will catapult you to a new level of personal achievement.

CAMPAIGNS & VOTING
The student names of all voting delegates are required prior to NLC. FBLA-PBL national staff will be available for questions regarding voting and officer elections. Election Headquarters will be located by the Registration Desk. Any changes to voting delegates will be handled there. All changes must be reported by 1:00 p.m. on June 25. No changes will be allowed after this time. Local Voting Delegates Local voting delegates vote on the election of regional vice presidents. Local voting delegates should have received a voting delegate ribbon in their chapter’s registration packet. If you are a voting delegate and have misplaced or did not get a ribbon, all replacements must be issued and verified by your region’s national board of directors’ representative at the conclusion of the Regional Campaign Rally & Recognition Session. To qualify as a voting delegate, members must have met these requirements: • Paid national, state, and local dues by the membership deadline of March 1 • Conference registration must have been postmarked no later than 20 days (June 9) prior to opening date of the conference. The number of voting delegates to which a chapter is entitled is determined by the following breakdown: • Less than 50 paid chapter members: 2 voting delegates • 50–100 paid chapter members: 3 voting delegates • More than 100 paid chapter members: 4 voting delegates No chapter may have more votes than the number of members in attendance at the NLC. For example, even though a chapter is entitled to three voting delegates, if only two members are present, only two votes may be cast. Voting delegates are expected to attend the meetings listed below. Regional Campaign Rallies and Recognition Sessions Hear speeches from candidates for regional vice president. Question and answer sessions for regional vice president are conducted during this session.
