adviser, and answer frequently asked questions. Advisers are also provided resources to implement chapter<br />

Leadership Academy<br />
The Leadership Academy is a leadership development opportunity for all FCCLA members to gain leadership<br />
training and be recognized for their self-improvement efforts. Several Leadership Academy courses will be offered<br />
at the National Leadership <strong>Conference</strong> that will count toward the FCCLA Ultimate Leader, Student Leadership<br />
Challenge Achiever, and Master State Officer concentration requirements. To find out more information about the<br />
Leadership Academy, check out materials on the FCCLA national website.<br />
Registration for the Leadership Academy is handled separately from National Leadership <strong>Conference</strong> registration.<br />
To register for the Leadership Academy, please visit http://bit.ly/FCCLALA. Once a student is registered for the<br />
Leadership Academy, they will have access to all applicable Leadership Academy sessions at the National<br />
Leadership <strong>Conference</strong>, as well as have access to online resources. In order to participate in both sessions of State<br />
Officer Training (OFCR 202 and 302), all state officers must be registered for the Master State Officer concentration<br />
