EMPOWER YOURSELF
Empower Yourself! The FCCLA theme
for the 2015-2016 school year is Empower
and speaks to making the right choices and
committing yourself to making a positive
impact within your family, your school, FCCLA,
and your community. The logo that accompanies this theme shows the reverse
“mepower” to illustrate that the power to affect this change lies within all of us.
FCCLA Mission: To promote personal growth and leadership development
through Family and Consumer Sciences education. Focusing on the multiple roles
of family member, wage earner, and community leader, members develop skills for
life through: character development, creative and critical thinking, interpersonal
communication, practical knowledge, and career preparation.
FCCLA Creed: We are the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America.
We face the future with warm courage and high hope. For we have the clear
consciousness of seeking old and precious values. For we are the builders of homes,
homes for America’s future, homes where living will be the expression of everything
that is good and fair, homes where truth and love and security and faith will be
realities, not dreams. We are the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America.
We face the future with warm courage and high hope.

NEC WELCOME
We all understand the need to be fit - not just physically, but mentally and emotionally
as well. FCCLA revealed its updated Student Body national program at the 2015
National Leadership Conference, promoting the Healthy You, Fit You, Real You, and
Resilient You. The workshops, speakers, sessions, and overall experience offered
over the course of the 2015 National Cluster Meetings are designed to showcase
the opportunities given to FCCLA members. We encourage you to make the most
out of this weekend! Attend workshops, make new connections, compete in a Skill
Demonstration Event, and have a great time. Are you ready to be EMPOWERED to
EMPOWER others?
Empowered to Make a Difference,
2015-2016 National Executive Council

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S GREETING
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S
GREETING
Welcome to the 2015 FCCLA National
Cluster Meeting! We’re so excited to
get to spend this weekend together
with you to explore new leadership
skills, make new friends, grow as
an organization, and have some
fun in Indy. With the FCCLA theme
EMPOWER, I’m looking forward to
seeing how each of us empowers
ourselves and each other as leaders in
our families, careers, and communities.
You’ve already taken the first step to
empowering yourself by attending this
Sandy Spavone, Executive Director
year’s National Cluster Meeting. Now,
I hope that you leave here inspired to
work beyond what you thought you could do, to be more and lead more than you
ever imagined possible. Soledad O’Brien said, “I’ve learned that fear limits you and
your vision. It serves as blinders to what may be just a few steps down the road for
you. The journey is valuable, but believing in your talents, your abilities, and your
self-worth can empower you to walk down an even brighter path. Transforming
fear into freedom - how great is that?” So as you work to empower others
through your leadership, I challenge you to find the “mepower” to believe in your
amazing talents. Then, let’s work together to empower others to join FCCLA and
find their “mepower”, too. Have a great Ultimate Leadership Experience!
Empowered to Make a Difference,
FCCLA Executive Director

should contribute to the positive and professional image of FCCLA. The FCCLA
official uniform is a red blazer, which may be single or double breasted, worn with a
black skirt, black slacks, or a black sheath dress. The FCCLA official uniform is always
