Arizona FCCLA is excited to offer a virtual Adviser Competitive Events Success Training (ACES) for advisers to gain the knowledge they need to prepare their students for successful competition at the 2021 State Leadership Conference. This virtual conference will allow advisers to participate in breakout rooms specific to competitive events related to their program and learn strategies to help their students be successful. More information will be posted in the days to come at www.azfccla.org/aces-training.

We understand there are a lot of questions surrounding the 2021 State Leadership Conference and what it will look like. We are planning for a variety of situations and will share additional information as it becomes available. One thing we can say for certain: competitive events will happen! The Arizona Proficiency Events Guide and menus for Baking & Pastry and Culinary Arts will be posted on the Arizona FCCLA website in the beginning of November. We appreciate your patience as we work through this together!

Chapter Networks - Off to a Great Start!

Continuing the initiative of the 2019-2020 State Executive Council, the 2020-2021 State Executive Council is excited to communicate and engage with Chapter Officers through the use of Chapter Networks. Chapter Officers will be assigned by the state office to one of four Chapter Networks based on their position. Chapter Officers will then be added to a GroupMe to connect with other officers around the state in an effort to share ideas and initiatives while growing their personal networks within the organization. The Chapter Networks will be monitored and facilitated by the State Executive Council and State Staff. It is imperative that advisers provide the phone numbers for their officers. If you are not allowed to collect this information, please ask members to update their contact information in the membership portal.

The 2020-2021 State Executive Council is excited to offer the Chapter Officer Update - a monthly newsletter developed by the State Executive Council to keep chapter officers up-to-date on the happenings of the organization while sharing ideas to engage and run chapters. For this initiative to be successful, it is important that advisers provide the personal email addresses for their officers. School emails typically do not accept outside emails. If you are not allowed to collect personal emails from students, please ask them to update their contact information in the membership portal.
