ADVISER RESPONSIBILITIES: Follow procedures set by the district. Ensuring that students and organization operate within the procedures set forth by the district will make your program a model to serve as one of the greatest public relations images for FCCLA. Reach out. The best experts in FCCLA are in your own state and can provide you with enhanced information, ideas, and support. Keep your FCCLA resources close. Find a system that works for you and keep it updated and close at hand to help you make the most of your time. Prioritize tasks. To keep yourself from being overwhelmed be sure that you’re focused on what you need to be doing at that time. Items such as a Program of Work, school calendar, and At-a-Glance schedules from National FCCLA can help you prioritize so you don’t miss a deadline or an opportunity. Advise. Being an adviser is truly about advising. You have to help students understand how their goals and desired outcome should drive every decision they make. Encourage your students to try new things, make positive changes, and realize their full potential.
