Career Development Judges Needed
Please submit names of Evaluators by April 1, 2016 using the State Competition Evaluator Portal. All Evaluators will be contacted by the state staff no later than April 15, 2016.

The Board of Directors adopted a Career Development Events Handbook in February. The Handbook contains a section regarding Teacher Expectations.


Teacher Expectations:
  • Will judge/lead/assistant lead
  • Provide volunteers to be judges based on registration requirements
  • No one with participants in a specific category/event may judge that category/event
  • Cannot be in any designated judging areas with your students
  • Exercise professional decorum
In order to provide students with the best presentation experience at State Leadership Conference, we are asking all teachers who have students competing to volunteer themselves to judge an event. This is a great opportunity for you to become familiar with an event that you may use as a performance measure with your new courses. Culinary, Lodging and Early Childhood Education teachers may judge Ohio only events or any of the Foundational, Leadership or Career Preparation events that move onto National competition. Ohio FCCLA needs 3 judges at each station on Thursday for the events held at the The Ohio Expo. Teachers with Culinary and Lodging students competing on Wednesday should volunteer to judge an event that day.

Advisers are the subject matter experts and can help our business partners and associates to score rubrics appropriately. If you have any questions, feel free to reach our state staff. 

Your involvement as a judge of a Career Development Event empowers the students to become champions.

Meals of Hope
The SEC has created a video to show chapters how to register as a fundraiser.  Meals of Hope how to video!
Watch the Meals of Hope video!

Meals of Hope has given hundreds of volunteer-minded individuals a way to make a positive impact by bringing Food Packing Events to their local churches, schools, associations and other clubs and service organizations. They are tackling a serious problem while having some serious fun. This year Ohio FCCLA will be holding a Meals of Hope meal-packing event for the second year. The meals will be donated to the Mid-Ohio Food Bank.
