Nevada FCCLA State Campaigns State Theme: “Launching into a Brighter Future” Each year the State Officer team selects a state theme to represent the school year. This year members have the opportunity to blast into a brighter future during the 2015-2016 FCCLA experience. The theme, Launching into a Brighter Future, empowers students to “blast off” on their leadership journey by leading others, believing in themselves, and landing with a big bang! The logo for Launching into a Brighter Future will be available on the Nevada FCCLA website, www.nevadafccla.org

State Membership Campaign: “Race to Membership” [New] This year’s membership campaign will rocket your membership AND chapter involvement! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to increase your membership by as much as you can by February 1, 2016.

The percentage increase between your 2015-16 members and your 2014-15 members will be determined.

During the closing session at SLC, the chapter with the highest percentage of membership increase will receive an amazing traveling trophy to display with pride at their school.

The trophy will remain at the winner’s school until the 2017 SLC when it will be passed onto the 2017 winner.

Nevada State Officers have set a membership goal of 500 members. We encourage you to boost your chapter membership as you climb onboard the “Race to Membership!”

State Outreach Project: Think Kindness

The Nevada FCCLA State Officers have chosen Think Kindness as the Nevada Outreach Project for 2015-16. Think Kindness sparks kindness movements in schools and communities across the United States. They have gathered a team of dynamic and inspirational speakers and thought leaders to create programs that not just talk about being kind, but inspire people to take action. Each year they travel the country on a national “15 Days of Kindness” school tour where they challenge schools to change the world, in just 15 days! It’s more than just a one-hour presentation, it is a 15-day challenge that calls students to action. Nevada FCCLA will announce the date(s) we will focus on Think Kindness! More details will be emailed to each chapter adviser. Advisers: Check out http://www.thinkkindness.org/ for resources.

Membership Since 1945, students and their advisers have focused on bettering their families, careers, and communities by taking part in FCCLA. This year’s National FCCLA goal is to increase membership by 7 percent. This year Nevada FCCLA State Officers invite you to blast off with them as they launch “Race to Membership!” Increasing membership is a top priority for this year. They are encouraging members to orbit their school to eclipse our membership goal and spread the word about this amazing organization and help others take part in the benefits FCCLA has to offer. Chapter Membership All chapters are required to register 12 members on the affiliation roster. Those chapters that do not have 12 members registered will not be recognized as active chapters and will not be allowed to participate in STAR Events or Leadership Conferences. Curriculum Fee and Payment National FCCLA affiliation is $9 per member and Nevada FCCLA affiliation is $6 per member, for a total of $15 per member. The affiliation dues provide access to the FCCLA national magazine Teen Times, National Programs, Leadership Conferences, STAR competitive events, membership cards, and exclusive membership promotions. Payments must be received at the National Office for chapters to be considered an active chapter (POs are not payment!). Affiliation Process The affiliation site is available at https://affiliation.registermychapter.com/fccla#.
