USA Training - Day 1

This post was submitted by JaLee Gooch, Region 4 State Vice President, who is attending the Ultimate State Officer Academy - Phase II Capitol Leadership program in Washington, D.C.

Hello Missouri FCCLA! How early did you get up on Wednesday morning? Some of us got up as early as 3 a.m. to get to the airport to catch our flights into Washington, D.C. for the Capitol Leadership Phase II of the USA Training program. After we got settled into the hotel we headed to our first meeting at the Ronald Reagan Building. We got rained on on our way there!

Once at the meeting, we spent our afternoon with state officers from all over the country. We played "Captain's Coming" and lots of other fun energizers with all the state officers. You don't know those energizers? Don't worry, you will get to enjoy them too at our upcoming fall Access FCCLA conference and spring state leadership conference! TRI Leadership Resources is putting on an awesome meeting for us! We're learning more about our officer skills, promoting FCCLA, team development, membership, and communication.

Thanks Missouri FCCLA for giving us this opportunity to be here and to bring these skills back to our state, regions, and local chapters.
