FCCLA

National Leadership Conference

Thank You for an Unforgettable National Leadership Conference!

Thank you to every FCCLA Member, Adviser, guest, volunteer, partner, presenter, and supporter who joined us in Washington, D.C., for the 2026 National Leadership Conference.

This year’s theme, ConneCTEd, came to life as more than 10,000 attendees from across the country gathered in the nation’s capital to learn, lead, celebrate, and connect. From inspiring sessions and hands-on workshops to Competitive Events, national recognition, meaningful conversations, and unforgettable experiences, NLC 2026 showed the power of bringing the FCCLA community together.

Congratulations to every FCCLA Member who stepped onto the national stage, challenged themselves, represented their chapter and state, and shared their talents. We are also deeply grateful to the FCCLA Advisers, parents, chaperones, school administrators, volunteers, partners, and supporters who helped make this experience possible.

The conference may be over, but the confidence gained, connections formed, and memories created will continue to inspire FCCLA Members as they return home ready to lead.

We cannot wait to welcome you to San Antonio, Texas, for the 2027 National Leadership Conference, June 22–26, 2027. San Antonio will set the stage for an incredible conference that celebrates the achievements of FCCLA Members, inspires the next generation of leaders, and showcases why FCCLA is Where Leaders Are Made.
