amount of judgment in their choice of clothing to wear.  Members who experience uncertainty about unacceptable attire should<br>ask their local adviser, state leader, or conference staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FBLA recognizes that exceptions may need to be made and will work with advisers on a case-by-case basis to accommodate requests.  Advisers should indicate the need for exceptions on the special<br>accommodation portion of the registration form. Requests made after registration closes must be made in writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!selectors.core.file.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/lctiweb.com\/lctifbla\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2024-SLC-Dress-Code_adopted-0723.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Embed of <strong&gt;FBLA Dress Code <\/strong&gt;..\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-d5418355-9c40-4807-afe2-18fb0c55e629\" href=\"https:\/\/lctiweb.com\/lctifbla\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2024-SLC-Dress-Code_adopted-0723.pdf\"><strong>FBLA Dress Code <\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/lctiweb.com\/lctifbla\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2024-SLC-Dress-Code_adopted-0723.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-d5418355-9c40-4807-afe2-18fb0c55e629\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As adopted, July 2023<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Projecting a professional image is vital for business leaders to demonstrate respect for clients, colleagues, and others.
