Public Review and Comment of Tennessee FCCLA By-laws
During the summer 2017 Tennessee FCCLA Advisory Council meeting, the Tennessee FCCLA Advisory Council members reviewed the initial draft of the proposed revision of the Tennessee FCCLA By-laws.
The Tennessee FCCLA By-laws are under review after an audit performed by National FCCLA highlighted some discrepancies and areas of improvement. Tennessee FCCLA was thus encouraged to revisit the existing by-laws and to enact revisions as necessary. Although no major changes were made, the Tennessee FCCLA Advisory Council wishes to provide both the existing by-laws and proposed by-law revisions to the delegation. A public comment period will be open now through Nov. 30.
Following the public comment period, revisions will be made, and a final copy will be available to review by Feb. 20. Students will have opportunities to make motions on adoptions of the revisions at the FCCLA State Leadership Conference.
You can find the existing by-laws here.
Revised by-laws can be found here.
You can leave any comments or concerns through this survey.
