FCCLA Chapter Advisers and Potential Advisers
July 30 - Thanks to those of you that have FCCLA Chapters for your heroic efforts by providing leadership opportunities for your students. We realize not all of you have chapters and we encourage you to speak to another FCCLA Chapter Adviser or a State Officer about the super powers that FCCLA can activate in your schools, students, and communities.
We’re proud to announce our 2008 – 2009 Program of Work theme, Heroes Happen Here. We decided to focus on the following four goals:
| Unmask the Leader Within | |
| Strive to Unite Family Forces | |
| Activate Your Super Career Powers and | |
| Save the Day for Tomorrow |
We want to put an extra emphasis on increasing student members as well as increasing our Colorado membership in Alumni and Associates. Colorado was recognized at the National Leadership Meeting for increasing membership and we hope to continue this trend. We encourage early affiliation - chapters affiliated by November 1 and increasing membership by 15% or more will be recognized at our State Leadership Conference in April. Also, this year our state officers jumped on the national outreach program bandwagon of Feed the Children setting a superpower goal to raise $14,400 to host two trucks to come to Colorado (or one to Colorado and one to the 2009 NLM). If each of our 110 chapters raised $1-200 we could meet our goal.
To help unmask the leader within your students we encourage joining me and the rest of the State Officer Team at our Take AIM Leadership Training in Vail, September 21 – 22.
Again thank you and remember Heroes Happen Here.
Sasha Haarberg, 2008-2009 Colorado FCCLA State President

Everyone is part of a family, and Family, Career and Community Leaders of America is the only national career and technical student organization with the family as its central focus. Since 1945, FCCLA members have been making a difference in their families, careers and communities by addressing important personal, work and societal issues through Family and Consumer Sciences education.

Involvement in FCCLA offers members the opportunity to expand their leadership potential and develop skills for life -- planning, goal setting, problem solving, decision making and interpersonal communication -- necessary in the workplace, home, and global marketplace.
