It is a privilege to be chosen to represent Florida FCCLA's delegation as President-Elect.
My main goal as President-Elect is to increase Florida's membership. The only way this can be accomplished is by working together as a whole; members, advisors, and state officers.
We have designed a new state membership goal:
ADD 7 new members, 4 of which will hopefully be MALE members
Here are some facts about your state…
As of 4/14/08 Florida has a total of:
9,003 members
717 males
8,286 females
and
163 chapters
So as you can see our male membership total is lacking; with a ratio of 12 girls : 1 guy
If all 163 chapters were to complete their goal of adding 4 male members, in all we would add 652 members to our current 717 total, giving us a new total of 1,369 male members.
Not forgetting our female members, if each chapter were to add 3 female members we would have a new female total of 8,775 members.
THE TWO TOTALS TOGETHER would give us an OVERALL membership total of 10,144 members, WHICH IS OUR TOTAL MEMBERSHIP GOAL for the 2008-2009 year.
Here are a few ways that you can add to your chapter and reach the state goal.
1. WORD OF MOUTH
2. Advertisements
3. FCCLA breakfast parties- invite nonmembers
4. Participate in FCCLA week - MARK your calendars
5. Get involved with your sports - Give popsicles, water, etc before or after games. - this will be great for new male members
6. GET YOUR BOYFRIENDS/GIRLFRIENDS involved
7. FRESHMAN orientation
8. LOCKER LETTERS slips of paper saying join FCCLA or other neat slogans- "smartie" handouts be a smarty join FCCLA with a piece of candy attached.
9. Bulletin board with pictures from state and nationals etc.
10. Give doughnuts at break time meetings
GET INVOLVED
