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. GET CONNECTED WITH FCCLA!

Are you ready to be EMPOWERED to EMPOWER others? Empowered to Make a Difference, 2015-2016 National Executive Council 3 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 4 MEETING GUIDELINES All delegates should review these guidelines with their chapter adviser/chaperone.
