Do you have what it takes to be the ultimate FCCLA survivor? Well, over 5,000 FCCLA members and advisers took on the challenge as they came together in the Denver, Colorado, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and finally, the Big Peach, Atlanta, Georgia. Attendees not only had the opportunity to network with others from across the nation, but also develop their leadership skills! Through a variety of workshops, students and advisers alike were challenged to raise the bar in their families, careers, and communities. They even had the opportunity to listen to motivational speakers John Beede and Gerald Jones.
Alec Ostapovicz, Virginia FCCLA State President, said, "This year's cluster meetings have been one of the best! From the keynote speakers, the workshops, the fantastic NEC, all the friends I made and reaquainted with from across the country, and all the leaders that grew from these wonderful experiences; this year we really raised the bar. "
Students also had the opportunity to compete in competitive events such as Impromptu Speaking, Culinary Knife Skills, Culinary Food Art, and the Family and Consumer Sciences Knowledge Bowl. The top ten Skill Demonstration Event competitors from each site qualified to compete at the 2012 National Leadership Conference July 8-12 in Orlando, Florida.
And speaking of the National Leadership Conference, the theme for the conference was also announced. ***Drum roll please*****
