Thirty-three Family, Career, Community Leaders of America members participated in the Fall Leadership Rally Oct. 10. Members traveled to the Georgia National Fairgrounds in Perry, Georgia along with 4500 other FCCLA members from across the state. FCCLA members were introduced to the many programs and opportunities available to students who join FCCLA.
Special guest speaker Bryan Fiese shared techniques for “power presenting” and how to better use voice, eyes, gestures, posture and movement to deliver hard hitting, and memorable presentations. After the general sessions members received a rally T-shirt and a pass to ride the rides at the fair.
