We have accomplished many goals. Since 1986, We have had five members elected to a State Office- two as Executive Vice-President, Rhonda Janssen and Melanie Sandvig, One as the National Committee member, Peggy Lange, one Vice-President of Membership, Amanda Janssen, and one Vice-President of Public Relations, Katelyn Stewart. We have also had three past members, Rhonda Janssen, Amy Kast, and Mandy Timm, serve as the District President. We have also had numerous members serve as District Officers. In recent years, Breanne Evans, Micheila Zimmerman, Michelle Repenning, Emily Nohr, Sara Kohles, Amanda Janssen, Kelsey Otlmanns, Christina Schroeder, and Bailey Honeywell have been in Peer Ed Offices.
We have always been active in the District Leadership Conference, STAR, and the State Leadership Conference. We have participated in the Chapter Award State Contest, and have won many awards. We are anxious to work towards our goal in the following years. Our theme "The Oval of life" is focusing on the FCCLA logo and motto this year to encourage members to set goals, and work for their dreams.
