The state officer Sydney Gebka and the regional officers Emily Ramstetter and Katie Norman, all from Ryle High School, attended the 58th annual Kentucky Family, Career and Community Leaders of America Leadership Conference in Hardinsburg June 11-13.
The theme for this year was Kentucky FCCLA: Olympic Training Camp. The Kentucky organization’s regional officers learned about their duties from state officers and gained valuable leadership skills.
This year the Freshman Academy had 20 freshmen and eighth-grade students participate in team building leadership activities. This was a series of workshops for incoming freshmen or sophomores that have a desire to take their leadership in the organization further.
About 200 officers and advisers across the state were informed of Lifesmarts by former state officer alumni member Seth Woods, National Lifesmarts coordinator. Woods also discussed his leadership while being a state officer.
While attending Olympic Training Camp members attended workshops on individual officer training, regional meetings, competitive events, organization awards, icebreakers, etiquette, public speaking and running for office.
A business session was held to vote on the Kentucky organization’s 2012-2013 goals, which are:
Goal 1: Each chapter will increase their membership by 13 percent or 13 Members.
Goal 2: Increase state degree participants.
Goal 3: Increase the state-wide scholarship donation.
Goal 4: Each chapter will participate in a state wide community service project.
Goal 5: Promote and publicize the organization at the chapter, region and state level.
