National Leadership Conference: Volunteer to Evaluate Competitive Events

Because STAR Events operates on a limited budget, unpaid volunteers are essential. State associations are responsible for providing one evaluator and/or room consultant for every three event participants. Evaluation teams consisting of members, advisers, and business and industry professionals will be assigned representing different FCCLA regions.

Chapter advisers and members can volunteer to assist with these events by completing the volunteer sign-up process as part of their 2023 NLC registration in the FCCLA Portal.
