What is the main purpose of FCCLA's National Team?

The main purpose of FCCLA's National Team is to guide the organization and represent the members’ interests at a national level. This involves working to influence policy, develop programs, and ensure that the voices of members are heard in important decisions that affect the organization. The National Team serves as a vital link between the local chapters and the national headquarters, facilitating communication and collaboration among members.

This role empowers team members to advocate for issues that are important to their peers, ensuring that the goals and values of FCCLA are carried forward. By focusing on representation and guidance, the National Team plays a crucial part in the overall functioning and success of FCCLA as an organization dedicated to personal growth, leadership development, and community service.

While organizing regional competitions and promoting national awareness of family and consumer sciences are important activities within FCCLA, they are not the primary purpose of the National Team. Similarly, providing scholarships, while beneficial, does not encapsulate the broader strategic role that the National Team plays in overall organizational leadership and member representation.
