Honor Code The Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) Honor Code embodies principles of integrity, trust, respect, and responsibility essential for fostering excellence an ethical leadership in a community devoted to learning. Every member, local adviser, and state leader must maintain and enforce these principles. To ensure a high standard across FBLA, every competitor registered in any competitive event must agree and certify to comply with the following guidelines: Compliance: Competitors are required to read and adhere to the FBLA Competitive Event Guidelines relevant to their event. Original Work: Competitors must ensure that all content submitted for FBLA competitive events is their own work or that of their team members. Proper citation of sources is mandatory. Use of Materials: Only items and materials explicitly allowed by FBLA Competitive Event Guidelines may be utilized. Independence: No external assistance beyond what is explicitly permitted in FBLA event instructions or guidelines is allowed. Cell Phones, Smart Watches, & Headphones: Unless a pre-approved accommodation is in place, all cell phones, smart watches, and headphones must be turned off and put away before testing or role play competition begins. Any report of these devices being visible or in use will be considered a violation of the Honor Code. Data Storage: Competitors are prohibited from saving any FBLA competitive event or test materials provided by the FBLA National Center or a state organization to any storage device or cloud storage. Originality: Competitive entries must be entirely original and not previously entered in FBLA national competition by the competitor or others. (It is the intent to preclude local chapters from rewriting the same event, and it is recognized that chapters may utilize the same or similar activities on an annual basis in some events. In this case, chapters may use these activities, ensuring that the project or portions of projects are not rewritten and therefore plagiarized.) Honest Participation: Competitors must engage in all FBLA competitive events with honesty and integrity. In the event of an alleged Honor Code violation, the National Competitive Events Committee for the designated FBLA division will investigate. If a violation is confirmed, penalty points, including disqualification, may be imposed at the discretion of the National Competitive Events Committee. Additionally, information regarding the violation may be forwarded to the appropriate state FBLA organization for future action regarding academic integrity. By registering for the National Leadership Conference, participants acknowledge their understanding of the Honor Code and the consequences of violating it.

Iowa FBLA Day American Enterprise Day Future Business Leaders of America sets aside November 15 to celebrate American Enterprise Day. To celebrate American Enterprise Day, Iowa FBLA annually declares the day Iowa FBLA Day to bring awareness to both American Enterprise and Iowa FBLA across the great state of Iowa. Event Objectives Showcase high quality FBLA chapters from across the state with students sharing the benefit of FBLA and American Enterprise Day. Advocate how FBLA prepares students for contributing to society and the economy. Learn professionalism, communication, and leadership skills by being active with elected officials, media outlets, and key stakeholders. Historical Context American Enterprise Day was started by Jimmy Carter, who made a Presidential Proclamation on August 8, 1980. That was over 40 years ago, and to this day we observe American Enterprise Day on November 15. President Carter’s goal was to educate young people about capitalism through the organization of Future Business Leaders of America. Since then, Iowa FBLA brings awareness to both American Enterprise and FBLA through advocacy and promotion. Event Logistics American Enterprise Day is a great way to recognize how free enterprise has positively contributed to the economy. For example, if you work for someone else, you choose the occupation that you want to pursue. The owners of the businesses you work for make it possible for people to purchase the goods and services that they need. Because of free enterprise you can make decisions like that, on your own. There are numerous activities that your chapter can do to celebrate American Enterprise Day. That could mean inviting a local business to come speak to your school, preparing class skits, or even running an essay contest. Whatever project your chapter chooses to undertake is an opportunity to teach someone else about the importance of the free enterprise system. Preparing for the Event Iowa FBLA Day is a day to embrace the wonderful opportunities that our organization has to offer! Chapters are invited to celebrate at the local level. This includes practicing competitive events, serving other members in the community, hosting an FBLA meeting to induct new members or install officers, networking with fellow FBLA chapters in your District, touring local businesses to learn how they operate, and much more.
