ONLINE REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS

ONLINE REGISTRATION OVERVIEW For the 2014 Section Leadership Conference, Gold Coast FBLA will be using the online registration system, which is directly linked to the national membership registration system used to register members.

From JANUARY 6 to FEBRUARY 8, a link to the conference online registration system will be available under the “Conference” menu link on the home page of the California FBLA web site located at www.cafbla.org. Click on the link to open the login page for the conference registration system.

Your students will not appear in the system as available to register for the conference if their membership dues are not yet recorded as paid in the national membership system. All registrants must be paid members of FBLA by JANUARY 31. Be sure to allow for time for nationals to post your dues payments if you are mailing a check to the national office. Even credit card payments take up to three days to post.

It is the adviser’s responsibility to follow all event guidelines when registering students. If an event is limited to a certain number of entrants or grade levels, the adviser is responsible to make sure that his/her chapter registers according to those guidelines.

The system will time out about 20 minutes after you log in. For large chapters, you may need to submit your registration in two or three online sessions on the same day in order to complete it.

After making all of the entries, the system will take you to a screen where you will be able to review and print your registration summary. A copy of the summary will be emailed to you and to conference personnel. In addition, please print at least four copies of the Registration Summary for the following: • Your school’s accounting/business office to generate your back up for your check payable to: Gold Coast FBLA • For your files • Send with transcripts (for required events) • Mail your check to: Eric To PO Box 699 San Gabriel, CA 91778 Direct questions regarding the use of the online registration system to: Sue Christensen CAFBLA Communications Manager communicationsmanager@cafbla.org
