The competition is part of a national competitive events program sponsored annually by FCCLA, a professional association for students pursuing careers in Early Childhood Professions, Hospitality Management, Fashion Design and Merchandising, Interior Design and Culinary Arts.  Individual and local chapter teams compete in 40 different events representing a range of business, career and leadership development activities.

The winners of these challenging and prestigious awards are selected from FCCLA’s 250,000 members, and have won state and regional competitions to qualify for the national awards program.  The 5600 delegates to this year’s annual meeting elected the 2007-2008 FCCLA National Executive Council team.  This year’s national theme, “Leadership Revolution” reflects the challenge that FCCLA offers students to prepare for family life, work life and careers in family and consumer sciences by providing opportunities to develop the knowledge, leadership skills, attitudes and behaviors that are needed to be successful in life.
