Nevada FCCLA State Campaigns
State Theme: “Launching into a
Brighter Future”
Each year the State Officer team selects a
state theme to represent the school year.
This year members have the opportunity to
blast into a brighter future during the 20152016 FCCLA experience. The theme,
Launching into a Brighter Future, empowers students to “blast off” on their leadership
journey by leading others, believing in themselves, and landing with a big bang! The
logo for Launching into a Brighter Future will be available on the Nevada FCCLA
website, www.nevadafccla.org
State Membership Campaign: “Race to Membership” [New]
This year’s membership campaign will rocket your membership AND chapter
involvement! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to increase your
membership by as much as you can by February 1, 2016.
 The percentage increase between your 2015-16 members and your 2014-15
members will be determined.
 During the closing session at SLC, the chapter with the highest percentage of
membership increase will receive an amazing traveling trophy to display
with pride at their school.
 The trophy will remain at the winner’s school until the 2017 SLC when it will
be passed onto the 2017 winner.
Nevada State Officers have set a membership goal of 500 members. We encourage
you to boost your chapter membership as you climb onboard the “Race to
Membership!”

State Outreach Project: Think Kindness
The Nevada FCCLA State Officers have chosen Think Kindness as
the Nevada Outreach Project for 2015-16.
Think Kindness sparks kindness movements in schools and
communities across the United States. They have gathered a team
of dynamic and inspirational speakers and thought leaders to
create programs that not just talk about being kind, but inspire
people to take action.
Each year they travel the country on a national “15 Days of
Kindness” school tour where they challenge schools to change the
world, in just 15 days! It’s more than just a one-hour presentation,
it is a 15-day challenge that calls students to action.
Nevada FCCLA will announce the date(s) we will focus on Think
Kindness! More details will be emailed to each chapter adviser.
Advisers: Check out http://www.thinkkindness.org/ for resources.

with You, by David Novak, Executive Chairman of Yum! Brands’, Lead2Feed gives

“Race to Membership!” Increasing membership is a top priority for this year. They
are encouraging members to orbit their school to eclipse our membership goal and
spread the word about this amazing organization and help others take part in the
benefits FCCLA has to offer.
