Working With Officers What does the FCCLA Mission mean? Our mission is to promote personal growth and leadership development through Family and Consumer Science education. Focusing on the multiple roles of family member, wage earner, and community leader, members develop skills for life through character development, creative and critical thinking, interpersonal communication, practical knowledge, and career preparation.
Working With Officers Definition of “Personal Growth” “Personal growth involves being conscious of one's thoughts, feelings, prejudices, and judgments and using this personal knowledge to act with mindfulness and in greater accordance with one's values and potential.”
Working With Officers Definition of “Leadership Development” 1. “Leadership Development refers to the process of building leadership qualities within individuals, regardless of whether or not themselves will become future leaders. That is to say, the qualities of leadership ‐ the improvement and enhancement of interpersonal skills, such as the ability to communicate effectively, as well as the ability to share, discuss, organize and encourage other individuals within the group through positive social influences ‐ can be developed within all individuals. 2. “Leadership Development involves identifying and measuring leadership qualities, screening potential leaders from non‐leaders, then training those with potential”
Working With Officers How does our officer team fit into: • Local chapter? • State association? • National organization? Write a team mission: Example: Our mission is to provide customer service, adviser training, rockin’ publications, promotion, and communications on behalf of our youth, chapters, TE, and states.
Working With Officers Write 3 Goals as an Officer Team: Think SMART! • Specific • Measurable • Attainable • Relevant • Timely

What is Integration? • The act of combining or adding parts to make a unified whole • The arrangement of military forces and their actions to create a force that operates by engaging as a whole • In force protection, the synchronized transfer of units into an operational commander's force prior to mission execution
What is Integration? • Combining parts to make the resulting effort more effective • In FCS and FCCLA it means rather than looking at them as two independent parts, they are used together to make the results more effective for both.
Advantages to Integration • Higher membership • More active members • More leadership opportunities for students • Less time out of the school day working on FCCLA • More ownership in the activities of the organization • More understanding between the classroom and real-life • Fun for students • Purchase dues, materials, etc. out of your classroom budget rather than FCCLA
