adviser, and answer frequently asked questions. Advisers are also provided resources to implement chapter
projects and activities into the FACS classroom. Designed for advisers with 0-5 years of experience with FCCLA.
Leadership Academy
The Leadership Academy is a leadership development opportunity for all FCCLA members to gain leadership
training and be recognized for their self-improvement efforts. Several Leadership Academy courses will be offered
at the National Leadership Conference that will count toward the FCCLA Ultimate Leader, Student Leadership
Challenge Achiever, and Master State Officer concentration requirements. To find out more information about the
Leadership Academy, check out materials on the FCCLA national website.
Registration for the Leadership Academy is handled separately from National Leadership Conference registration.

Leadership Conference, as well as have access to online resources. In order to participate in both sessions of State
Officer Training (OFCR 202 and 302), all state officers must be registered for the Master State Officer concentration
