STAR Events Postcards<br />
Postcards to national STAR Events participants have been mailed and they should be receiving them shortly. The postcard<br />
directs the participant to the FCCLA website to download information for national STAR Events. The direct link is<br />
http://www.<strong>fccla</strong>inc.org/content/<strong>2012</strong>-nlc-competitive-event-information/ please be sure all STAR Events participants review<br />
the information and it is recommended they print the event information and bring it with them to Orlando. The original<br />
information (names/addresses, etc.) submitted through the online STAR Events registration system, before state advisers<br />
submitted all changes to the national staff, will be reflected on these cards. Changes that have been received have been<br />
entered into the STAR Events database. A final informational report for your state or chapter may be requested by contacting<br />
starevents@<strong>fccla</strong>inc.org.<br />
Reminder: Changes to Onsite Event Registration – Packet Pickup<br />
In an effort to streamline registration, the following registration process will be implemented for the <strong>2012</strong> National Leadership<br />
Conference. States may continue implementing participant registration in ways that best meet their needs.<br />
During the <strong>2012</strong> National Leadership Conference, chapter advisers will be responsible for picking up all STAR Events<br />
registration materials and distributing it to their STAR Events participants. If the chapter adviser is not available during the<br />
specified time(s), they may request their packet be released to their state adviser or other designated adult.<br />
In order to receive the 5 points allocated to STAR Events Registration, chapter packets must be picked up during the specified<br />
registration time(s). During STAR Events Registration, the chapter adviser or designee will:<br />
• confirm participant attendance<br />
• receive participant information, which may include ribbons, participation times, specific event materials, and<br />
recognition session information<br />
• sign acknowledgment of receipt of materials.<br />
Any packets not picked up during the specified STAR Events Registration time(s) will be returned to the STAR Events<br />
Information Center. Chapter advisers may pick up these materials during normal STAR Events Information Center hours.<br />
Chapter packets not picked up during the specified STAR Events Registration time(s) will result in participants not receiving<br />
the 5 points for registration. Event Lead Consultants and Assistant Lead Consultants will receive notification of<br />
chapters/participants not receiving registration points and will enter a “0” in the registration section of the event Point<br />
Summary Form. Participants are still eligible to compete at their scheduled time.<br />

Meetings and Conferences<br />
NATIONAL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE DRESS CODE<br />
Approved by FCCLA’s Board of Directors, July, 2011<br />
The National Leadership Conference is an excellent opportunity for members to convey to others the positive and professional<br />
image of FCCLA. Members’ behavior in the hotels and throughout the National Leadership Conference is the only image others<br />
in the hotel and host city may ever have of our organization. Student conduct and dress should contribute to the positive and<br />
professional image of FCCLA. The FCCLA official blazer is always appropriate and strongly encouraged. Advisers are responsible<br />
