What is the purpose of Capitol Leadership for FCCLA members?

The purpose of Capitol Leadership for FCCLA members is primarily to represent FCCLA on Capitol Hill. This event allows members to engage with legislators and advocate for issues relevant to family and consumer sciences and the goals of FCCLA. Through this experience, members gain insights into the legislative process and learn how to effectively communicate the values and visions of FCCLA to policymakers. By participating in this type of event, members not only raise awareness about their organization but also develop important advocacy skills that are essential for their future roles as leaders in their communities.

The other choices do not align with the central focus of Capitol Leadership. Conducting regional elections pertains to organizational governance, celebrating achievements focuses on recognition and morale-boosting within the organization, and participating in fundraising events emphasizes financial support, none of which encapsulate the advocacy and representation purpose that Capitol Leadership serves.
