John Guydon was born in Compton in 1983. He started a business selling candy in the 7th grade to pay for lunch and football cleats, eventually going on to play Division I football at The University of Colorado and earning a Broadcast Production degree from the school of journalism. In 2005, tired of the constraints of the traditional corporate world, he left to start his own business. He created a commercial text message platform called Duffled that allows businesses and organizations to text customers using a commercial short code. In 2012 he launched The Lassy Project, software that gives parents and guardians the ability to notify an entire local community about a missing child in seconds, not hours. In 2014, he founded Startups Illustrated, which helps companies raise rounds of funding and gain acceptance into top-tier accelerators. Through this, John works with students, startups, and entrepreneurs to help them grow professionally and personally while maximizing efficiency.

JOHN GUYDONOpening Session

The 2019 National Fall Leadership Conferences (NFLCs) are designed to help you create A World of Opportunity. The board of directors, national officers, and national staff welcome you to this year’s NFLCs. You have demonstrated your commitment to leadership excellence by being here this weekend. Maximize your investment by participating in as many workshops and other activities as you can.

CONFERENCE HEADQUARTERSConference staff will be available on the 3rd Floor at registration, on Friday and Saturday during regular conference hours.

NAME BADGESConference badges must be worn to all conference activities, including the Blue Jeans for Babies Dance. Requests for replacement badges may be made at the registration desk or in conference headquarters. There is a $5 charge for all replacement name badges. This fee must be paid in full onsite.

TRAVEL ETIQUETTEIf traveling by taxi, ask for the fare before departure. Keep change handy for bellmen and doormen tips and similar situations. Generally, a 15% tip is appropriate for servers and cab drivers for good service.

CHAPERONESChaperones should enforce dress code and curfews, ensure that students attend conference activities, and follow common safety practices.

MEMBERS WITH DISABILITIESMembers with disabilities add an important dimension to the organization. FBLA‑PBL is committed to working with these members to ensure they receive maximum benefit from conference activities. Contact a representative of the national staff if you have particular needs or requirements.

CURFEWDelegates at FBLA‑PBL conferences are expected to follow the published curfew times. This requirement is designed both to protect individual delegates and to respect other guests in the hotels we are using for our meetings. Hotel security will enforce the published curfews, which are to be interpreted as being the time by which members should be in their own rooms and quiet for the night.

PROHIBITED ITEMS• noisemakers (horns, clappers, etc.) are not allowed at the general sessions• hats, including novelty hats, are prohibited by the FBLA‑PBL dress code• selfie sticks, cameras, cell phones, and posters/signs are not allowed on

TFBLA‑PBL members have an excellent reputation. Your conduct at every FBLA‑PBL function should make a positive contribution to extending that reputation. Listed here are rules of conduct for FBLA‑PBL national conferences. All delegates are expected to:

1. Behave in a courteous and respectful manner, refraining from language and actions that might bring discredit upon themselves, their school, other delegates, advisers, or upon FBLA‑PBL.

2. Obey all local, state, and federal laws.

3. Avoid conduct not conducive to an educational conference. Such conduct includes, but is not limited to, actions disrupting the businesslike atmosphere, association with nonconference individuals, or activities that endanger self or others (running in the general sessions, standing on chairs, using laser pointers during workshops, bodysurfing at dances, etc.).

4. Keep your advisers informed of your activities and whereabouts at all times. Accidents, injuries, and illnesses must be reported to the local or state advisers immediately.

5. Avoid alcoholic beverages (for those under 21 years of age) and controlled or illegal substances of any form. These items must not be used or possessed at any time, or under any circumstances. Use or possession of such substances may subject the delegate to criminal prosecution.

6. Act as guests of the hotel and conference center. Participants must obey the rules of these facilities. The facilities have the right to ask a member or members to leave. Do not throw anything out of windows or over balconies. Do not run down hallways. Noise should be kept at a reasonable volume, especially in the hotels.

Remember there are other guests in the hotels who have rights as well. Trash (this includes pizza boxes, bottles, cans, etc.) must be placed in the proper receptacles and not left on guest room or meeting room floors. Individuals or chapters responsible for damages to any property or furnishings will be responsible for its repair or replacement. Local and state advisers are responsible for the supervision of delegate conduct.

Disregarding or Violating the Code of ConductDelegates who disregard or violate this code will be subject to disciplinary action, including, but not limited to, forfeiture of privileges to attend further events, confinement to your hotel room, dismissal from the conference, and being sent home at your own expense. Parents and/or guardians will be notified and FBLA‑PBL reserves the right to notify law enforcement officials.
