  3. Promote and Publicize FCCLA! www.fcclainc.org Promote and Publicize FCCLA! is an individual or team event that recognizes participants who develop an FCCLA promotion and publicity campaign to raise awareness and educate the school, parents, and members of the community about the importance of FCCLA and Family and Consumer Sciences education. The goal of this event is to provide FCCLA members with communications experience to make a difference by increasing membership, developing partnerships, gaining Alumni & Associate involvement, promoting Family and Consumer Sciences education, gathering school and community support for their chapter, and contributing to the longevity of the organization and the relevance of its opportunities for members. Additionally, this event will increase member awareness of careers in communications and public relations.

  9. Promote and Publicize FCCLA! www.fcclainc.org Identify Concerns Chapter membership has decreased steadily over the past three years. Students in our school are not seeing the great benefits FCCLA can bring to their lives.

  10. Promote and Publicize FCCLA! www.fcclainc.org Set a Goal • To increase chapter membership by seven students. • To educate members and non-member students about how FCCLA can benefit them at various stages of life. • To creatively advertise FCCLA to non-members

  11. Promote and Publicize FCCLA! www.fcclainc.org Form a Plan In addition to chapter events for members, we will hold events for each class that are relevant to their current situations. Events will be promoted with FCCLA materials so they see that FCCLA and students will be given “Join NHS FCCLA” kits at the events. We will have prizes for students who join FCCLA during the events. These are the events we will hold: Freshmen – Welcome to High School Party Sophomores – Prepare to Drive Teen/Parent Night Juniors – Life After High School Information Seniors – Career Fair

  12. Promote and Publicize FCCLA! www.fcclainc.org Act • We developed: • “Join NHS FCCLA” kits • 4 advertisement campaigns for the 4 events • a chapter website • a public FCCLA recognition board in the NHS commons • In addition to our pre-planned events, we opened parts of our two (fall and spring) community service projects up to the whole NHS student body.

  24. Promote and Publicize FCCLA! www.fcclainc.org Follow Up • Success! We exceeded last year’s chapter membership by ten students! But we also learned some things we can do differently in the future: • Have an event at the end of the year for 8th grade students so they can get involved from the very beginning of their high school experience. • Have a “Family and Consumer Sciences Classes” night for freshmen and sophomores at the end of the year. It’s easier to get current FCS students involved than non-students, but students don’t really think about electives in our school until they are upper classmen. • We have to be as diligent about retaining members as we are about recruiting them. We need to have a follow up meeting at the end of the year for FCCLA members to tell us how we can make the organization better for their needs and to invite them to sign up for next year.
