State Officer Visit Opportunities

Tennessee FCCLA State Officers are eager to visit the Tennessee FCCLA members they represent! All State Officers are available upon request to visit all FCCLA chapters to discuss topics such as advocacy, STAR Events, FCCLA 101, National Programs, State Officer Candidacy, and membership.  

There is no cost associated with requesting a chapter visit, and State Officers will visit as many chapters as their schedule and travel allowances permit. To request a State Officer visit, please submit this form. The submissions are reviewed by the State Adviser who then communicates directly with the chapter leaders to schedule a visit that best meets the needs or desires of the chapter.
 
Please contact Pamela Sieffert if you have any questions.
