FBL • MEMBERS • START & GO
Member Packet (All-in-One)
This is the complete membership packet in one place. Read each section, check each acknowledgment,
then select your membership payment option, sign, and email the full packet to FBL.
Member standard: respect the room, no pitch culture, protect privacy, and keep politics out of FBL spaces.
1. Member Handbook
FBL exists to create practical leverage through trusted relationships between operators.
You’re here to contribute, learn, and build long-term connection—not extract value from the room.
What FBL Is
- A leadership community for operators
- High-trust, high-respect, time-disciplined
- Built on contribution, not extraction
- Introductions happen strategically (not forced)
- A place to learn and lead with integrity
What FBL Is Not
- A referral club or leads exchange
- A stage to pitch the room
- A political space (no campaigning/lobbying)
- A place for gossip or drama
- A guarantee of outcomes
Protect the room: If you wouldn’t say it in a boardroom with your reputation on the line, don’t bring it into FBL.
2. Code of Conduct
The Code of Conduct protects the culture. It is enforced to protect the room.
If behavior breaks trust, it will be addressed quickly.

5. How to Raise a Concern
If something violates standards, harms trust, or creates risk—raise it early. This isn’t a place for gossip or side conversations.
Use the proper channel so issues get handled professionally.
Raise a Concern When
- You experience harassment or intimidation
- You see pitch/extraction behavior harming the room
- Privacy/data misuse occurs

How to Raise It
- Email member@fblconnect.com
- Include chapter name + names involved (if relevant)
- State facts, not assumptions
- Attach screenshots if needed
- Do not “investigate” or escalate publicly
Simple rule: No side chats, no gossip, no “tribunals.” Raise it directly and let leadership handle it.
