Nine Gilbert students attended the FCCLA National Leadership Conference July 6th - 11th and it was a great success! Austin Graber, our State President, went through various leadreship academy classes in helping him learn more about his role as a State Officer. The Iowa Association of FCCLA had two state meeting. The first was to recognize our STAR Event members and we had several "ice breakers" for members to mingle and to get to know each other. At the second meeting, the State Officers revealed our new state theme: "Capture the Moment." Advisers and members are loking forward to the upcoming year. This year's state officer team is determined to bring passion and entusiasm to Iowa while making sure to live in the moment and remember the friendships and moments that they make along the way.
STAR Events were also very successful. Iowa proudly had 68 participants represented in 42 different categories. Iowa received 30 gold, 33 silver, and 5 bronze medals! Gilbert represented Iowa in the Parliamentary Procedure category. The team consisted of: Caleb Bell, Nolan Adair, Chris Culek, Ibby Culek, and Andrea Daley. They received a silver medal. Other members attending the conference were Quinn Vandenberg, Nick Greiner, AJ Royer, and Austin Graber. All members attended various interest sessions throughout the week and have lots of ideas and projects to try. It was the ultimate leadership experience!
