I recently interviewed Ms. Sherri Meadows, AHS FCCLA advisor, to discuss the purpose of FCCLA and recent events that members have attended.  Meadows states, "Through participation in Competitive Events, FCCLA members acquire industry insights and employable skills required to thrive in the 21st Century. Members can select from over 50 Competitive Events that employ skills and knowledge learned through Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) education." There will be 5 participants who will be attending the state convention.  The convention is the biggest one-day Oklahoma FCCLA event of the year. She states, "We will hear from hilarious and impactful keynote speakers, elect the next State Officer team, cheer on our fellow chapter members as they receive their STAR Event trophies, and attend action-packed, hands-on workshops. FCCLA State Convention is the place to be!"
