FCCLA

Capitol Leadership

 

    We were excited to welcome over 180 members and advisers from across the nation who traveled to Washington, D.C. over October 9 – 11, 2023 for an unforgettable, in-depth advocacy experience.  Attendees had a chance to connect with their state representatives and legislators to share about the importance of FCCLA and Family and Consumer Sciences. This journey was nothing short of epic, and we cannot wait to see the incredible impact these attendees will make in their communities.

    Please note that Capitol Leadership will not be held in 2024 due to the election year. We hope to see you again in Washington, D.C. in 2025!

    Mark your calendars now for the return of Capitol Leadership in Fall 2025! Don't miss this incredible opportunity to travel to Washington, D.C., and advocate for Family and Consumer Sciences education and FCCLA.
