Continuing our topic from last week here are the top 5 ways to help a new adviser start FCCLA with success.
5.Stress the importance of media with the beginning adviser. Forward any press releases you receive and emphasize the importance of promoting FCCLA in your school and community.
4. Compile a list of fundraising ideas that has worked for you. This list will be helpful not only for the new advisers in your area but also for any adviser.
3. Offer to have your officers help with installation ceremonies. Allocating leadership roles will benefit both sets of officers, and take some of the stress from the advisers.
2. Demonstrate a quality STAR Event. Seeing a STAR Event in action can eliminate some of the fear that might come along with the new endeavor. Invite your beginning adviser to a chapter “Night of the STARs”; give them the opportunity to see what the judge’s role is all about.
And the number one way to help a new adviser…
1. Just be there. Maybe just having someone to listen and be in their corner is all that is needed to help your rookie find their own success.
Assisting a new adviser Toward New Horizons is a rewarding experience. Together we can help our organization grow and provide students with opportunities only available through FCCLA.
Thank you to NECA Kathy Werner for compiling these tips.

I think that these are all great tips. One thing that we have done in Ohio is to develop what we call "FCCLA Beginnings Workshop". It is a program that is put on by the Ohio FCCLA Adviser Consultant Team and it focused on getting new advisers, or even veteran FCS teachers involved in planning to create an FCCLA chapter in their school. At the workshop we helped the new advisers find information on the web, use a calendar to map a program of work for their chapter and networked. I feel that the networking is so important not only to a new adviser, but to myself as well. When we feel like we have a team outside of our program, it helps develop a sense of belonging to the bigger picture.
