10 Tips for National Cluster Meetings

Are you attending a National Cluster Meeting in Indianapolis or Oklahoma City this weekend? Make sure to check out the last minute updates and tips before you make the journey with your FCCLA members!

  1. Download the FCCLA App.  Don't miss out on the schedules, updates, and other great features to make you and your students’ lives easier.
  2. Check out the dress code for all conference sessions.  Make sure students, chaperones, and advisers have packed the necessary clothing and will be dressed appropriately.
  3. Bring all receipts and confirmations for hotels and conference registrations.  It is always best to be prepared.
  4. Do not lose your name tag or FCCLA program while at the National Cluster Meeting.  There is a fee to replace both.
  5. Get some sleep.  The weekend will be full of activities and your students will be excited to be there.  Get some sleep now!
  6. Share your experience.  Encourage your students to share their National Cluster Meeting fun on Twitter and Facebook.  You can share too if you are social media savvy!
  7. Visit the exhibits at your National Cluster Meeting site.  Don’t miss out on the FCCLA Store and other great exhibitors.
  8. Keep a positive FCCLA image.  Remember that you and your students are representing the organization everywhere you go, so be on your best behavior.
  9. Make new friends and connections by checking out the Adviser Networking and Youth Networking sessions.
  10. Make Your Mark by attending as many workshops and sessions as you can.  This is a unique opportunity to learn and grow as an adviser and many of your students will never be a part of something like this again.  Take advantage of the experience!

Enjoy the National Cluster Meetings whether you are in Indianapolis or Oklahoma City.  Travel safely, enjoy your students, and Make Your Mark!
