Southern Charm
As the state meeting season amps up, FCCLA national staff and National Executive Council will be traveling throughout the country to visit over 40 state meetings. Each of us take away something new from these visits. We are thrilled to be part of your state meeting and happy to help you create a positive experience for members and advisers.
This week we visited Mississippi’s State Leadership Conference. We were able to visit with advisers and members about their interests and goals for as leaders in the organization. The students were enthusiastic and led by a fabulous team of officers. Many participated in STAR Events and other state competitions. Advisers were always there to show support and learn more about FCCLA through their students’ involvement.
We’d like to thank Valerie Taylor and the rest of the state staff at the Mississippi Department of Education for hosting us with their famous Southern hospitality.

This year Missouri FCCLA started the FCCLA Media Team to cover the conference using Facebook, Twitter, and the MO FCCLA Blog. We were lucky enough to have David Duval and 15 chapter members and advisers on the team. The Media Team was a great way to get others involved and share the Ultimate Leadership Experience.
