@lead2feed
David Novak is the founder and retired Chairman & CEO of
Yum! Brands, one of the world’s largest restaurant companies
(Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and KFC) with over 41,000 restaurants in more
than 125 countries and territories. During his tenure as CEO since
1999, Yum! Brands doubled in size and established itself as a global
industry leader.
David was recognized as “2012 CEO of the Year” by Chief Executive magazine, one of the world’s
“30 Best CEOs” by Barron’s, one of the “Top People in Business” by FORTUNE, and one of the “100
Best-Performing CEOs in the World” by Harvard Business Review. He received the prestigious

Novak’s leadership book, Taking People with You, inspired the 2012 launch of “Lead2Feed
Student Leadership Program,” a free leadership/community service program for secondary
students.

CODE OF CONDUCT
FBLA‑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 the National Leadership Conference. 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 Conduct
Delegates 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
