Important CDE Information



Dress Code


The Ohio FCCLA Board of Directors adopted a revised mandatory Dress Code in September 2022 for State Leadership Conference, Regional and State Career Development Events. Please review the policy prior to attending to ensure you and your students do not miss out on any sessions.


FCCLA Official Dress:

  • FCCLA red blazer
  • Professional white or black shirt 
  • Neckwear options can include the neckwear from the official emblematic supplier, black or red tie, black or red bow tie, single strand of pearls, red, black, and/or white scarf, or no neckwear 
  • Black bottoms (slacks, skirt, sheath dress) 
  • Shoes (black preferred) 
  • Jeans, t‐shirts, athletic wear are NOT acceptable

  • Closed-toe, low heel kitchen shoes with non-slip soles

Subject Matter Experts


Chapter advisers serve an important role as Subject Matter Experts in curriculum, Career-Technical Education and FCCLA to educate both members and other adult volunteers. Without chapter advisers serving as event volunteers, evaluation teams may lack critical context and subject matter information that could negatively impact final scoring. All Subject Matter Experts serving in a volunteer role will receive documentation of the hours devoted to competitive events. 


The Office of Career-Technical Education and State FCCLA Office have the expectation that advisers will help facilitate these competitions in the role of Subject Matter Experts at the regional, state, and national levels. In addition, the expectation that all advisers will demonstrate professionalism while working with other advisers, volunteers, and state staff during the evaluation of members' projects to provide a positive competitive event atmosphere.
