Conference shirt and khaki pants or skirt.  No denim, sweatpants, capri pants, flip flops or visible body piercing, other than ears, on males or females will be allowed.  The purpose of the dress code is to uphold the image of the association and its members.

Advisor's Forum

The forum this year will provide an opportunity for advisors to share how they prepare their students for Competitive Events. A moderator will facilitate the meeting and allow everyone to ask questions and share ideas. Please bring any materials that you utilize that may be of help to others. 

We will need approximately 25 advisors to volunteer to help facilitate workshops, assist with registration, and distribute t-shirts for BPA. If you are willing to assist, please email Debbie Hamble and let her know what you would like to help with. Your assistance is priceless in having a successful conference. Thank you in advance.
