Remaining Relevant: Networking With Others

Networking is a fancy word for finding common ground. From time to time we can all use someone to reach out to when we face challenges. Whether virtual or face-to-face, we all benefit from making a connection.

We’ve seen a surge of emails from advisers on the Chapter Adviser Listserv this week! Several advisers have been networking across the country to find better solutions to elect new officers, provide recognition, and fundraise for their chapters. The Chapter Adviser Listserv was set up for just this purpose and we are happy to see advisers use the tool to connect.

In must the same way, state and national meetings are a time for advisers to come together face-to-face to connect. These meeting provide insight and training for advisers of all demographics, experiences, and challenges. Trainings at these meetings provide valuable professional development.

I encourage you to try to attend these conferences with or without students to grow in FCCLA.
