Peer Education

Smoke Detectives will be the feature program for this year’s Peer Education Seminar.  Peer Educators will be trained with a presentation to give back in their communities on the importance of fire prevention & safety.  During the training, attendees will receive resources that will be useful in their presentations and as they carry out the projects in their schools and communities.  The QUOTA for Peer Education is 4 members per each Adviser.

Leadership Training

This training is for State, Section and Chapter Officers.  It will emphasize leadership skills including team building, meeting planning, parliamentary procedure and the FCCLA state and national programs.   The QUOTA for Leadership Training is 6 members per each Adviser.  State and Section Officers should all attend!

Illinois Foundation for FCCLA Activity

As in the past, we will have a silent auction to raise money for Foundation.  Please bring a $10.00 gift/chapter to donate to the auction.  Tickets will be for sale for a donation of 1/$1.00 or 6/$ 5.00.

Conduct and Dress

Student Conduct Forms can be found on the website.  Please print a copy of the form off and reproduce for each student to sign.  Members’ behavior at these meetings is the only image others in the hotels, on campus and at conference centers have of our organization.  Student conduct and dress should contribute to the positive, professional image of FCCLA. Jeans, mid drift tops, and T-shirts are NOT acceptable dress for training sessions.  Students may wear jeans to the evening fun activity which begins at 9:30 p.m.  Advisers are responsible for enforcing this policy.

Liability and Medical Release Forms
