Exeter-Milligan
FCCLA attends District Leadership Conference
by
Mary Lou Vossler, Advisor
On October 4, 2017 approximately 260 Family,
Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) members gathered at Central
Community College in Hastings, Nebraska for the District #4 Leadership
Conference. These 7 schools, with approximately 300 FCCLA members came
together: Bruning-Davenport High School, Bruning-Davenport Middle School, Cross
County, Doniphan-Trumbull, Exeter-Milligan, Fillmore Central, and Sutton. All
kids in attendance grew their leadership skills by “Shoot for the Moon with
FCCLA.”
Chapters were welcomed to the conference by the District #4 Officers, followed
by the presentation of the Colors by Bruning-Davenport Middle School Chapter. A
keynote presentation was created by the Technology Officer- Mallory Jensen
(Cross County). This keynote featured the FCCLA Chapters within District #4 and
their chapter highlights. Chapters also displayed past STAR projects and
Chapter “Shout Out” boards.
Our State and PEER Education Officers from Kearney and Elm Creek Chapters also
welcomed the FCCLA members.
As a group, we heard from the keynote speaker Stephanie Olsen from The Set Me
Free Project. She spoke about the dangers of human trafficking and how to stop
trafficking before it starts. With humor, engagement, and fun, Stephanie will
discuss the importance of healthy relationships vs. unhealthy relationships,
how to know the difference between a trustworthy person and a predator, the
tricks of a trafficker, and how to stay safe on social media. Our goal is that
everyone who hears a presentation from the Set Me Free Project walks away
knowing how to protect themselves from the dangers of sex trafficking.
Each
member attended 1 breakout session and 2 mini sessions, these sessions were
designed to help build leadership skills. Sessions included: Handwriting
Analysis Specialist, Promoting Healthy Lifestyles, PEER Ed and State Officer,
Dancing, Relay for Life, Nebraska Extension, MADD, Banking/Savings, STAR
Projects, Culinary Arts Tour, and more about Human Trafficking.
The
last session of the day, the District Officers and other members came out of
their comfort zone to do lip sync and dance off with other chapters. This
involved leadership and communication skills.
District #4 Officers for the 2016 – 2017 conducted the opening and closing
ceremonies, and those officers were: President Hannah Horne (Exeter-Milligan),
Vice-President Sera Johnson (Bruning-Davenport HS), Secretary/Treasurer Madison
Bonin (Fillmore Central) Public Relations Derek Domeier (Bruning-Davenport MS)
VP of Recreation Maddie Fitch (Doniphan-Trumbull), VP of Media/Tech/Historian
Mallory Jensen (Cross County), VP of STAR Karis Andres (Sutton). The District
#4 Adviser is Alicia Hoffman from the Bruning-Davenport Middle/High School
