NYS FCCLA is a student led organization...
The New York State FCCLA Executive Council (the State Officers) is a group of students who plan the three NYS conferences, attend the National Leadership conference, and serve as the role models for FCCLA members throughout the state of New York.
The New York State Officer Elects shadow each of the State Officers to learn the responsibilities and duties of a State Officer before assuming the role.
The New York State Junior Leaders are a group of young NYS FCCLA members who have decided to take the next step in their Ultimate Leadership Journey and work closely with both the Officer Elects and State Officers in order to develop their leadership skills.
