Which statement best describes how state officers contribute to membership recruitment?

• A. Provide leadership support, host recruitment drives, promote benefits of membership, and model engaging activities.
• B. Manage all fundraising alone.
• C. Write all policies without chapter input.
• D. Supervise classroom instruction.

Answer: (A)

State officers grow membership by actively showing what FCCLA offers and how it helps students develop as leaders. They provide leadership support to chapters, guiding and inspiring them to plan engaging activities and outreach. They also host recruitment drives in schools and communities, creating opportunities for prospective members to learn about FCCLA firsthand. In addition, they promote the benefits of membership—leadership development, competitive events, scholarships, service opportunities, and a strong peer network—and model energizing, meaningful activities that attract interest and demonstrate value. This combination—that visible leadership, proactive outreach, and clear messaging about benefits—best supports bringing new members in and keeping them involved. Other options miss the core idea of recruitment. Fundraising is important but not the primary driver of bringing in new members; writing all policies without chapter input neglects student and adviser perspectives, and supervising classroom instruction isn’t a role of state officers in FCCLA.
