Seven members of Gallatin’s Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) competed with over 4,500 STAR Event participants at a national leadership conference held in Atlanta, GA. Aidan Adkison earned Gold in Interpersonal Communications, Brinley Vandiver and Andon Allen earned Gold in Sports Nutrition, Claire Hemry earned Silver in Interpersonal Communications, Kylie Roe and Kyrah Barker earned Silver in Promote and Publicize FCCLA, and McKinley Waters earned Silver in Teach and Train. The event attracted more than 7,500 FCCLA student leaders, members, and advisers to the Georgia World Congress Center June 28 – July 2. The conference provided Gallatin students opportunities to come together for energized learning while listening to inspiring speakers, expanding leader-
ship skills, sharpening talents, and exploring career pathways. The theme of this year’s conference was “Inspired by FCCLA,” which inspired attendees to make the right choices and commit themselves to making a positive impact within their families, schools, FCCLA, and communities. “Our National Leadership Conference was a great success this year, with a record-setting attendance of over 7,500 members, advisers, partners and guests,” said Sandy Spavone, executive director of the FCCLA. “During the past week we’ve watched thousands of students come together and realize their full potential through competition, career training, and workshops. The relationships developed and training experienced during this conference have empowered students to go into their schools and communities and make a difference, bringing with
them the values and passions FCCLA brings to our members.” During the conference all of Gallatin’s FCCLA delegates participated in one of 30 Family and Consumer Sciences related competitive events offered at NLC, including STAR (Students Taking Action with Recognition) Events. These events support foundational, leadership, and workplace skills in areas such as advocacy, culinary arts, and entrepreneurship. In addition to conference activities, members had the opportunity to see some of the sights in Atlanta. They were able to tour the College Football Hall of Fame, World of Coke, Georgia Aquarium, and CNN. Additionally, they were able to participate in an Escape Room and a historical segway tour. Also attending were chaperone Mandi Hemry and GHS FCCLA adviser Becky Adkison.
