What do national dues in FCCLA support?

National dues in FCCLA support essential functions and resources that facilitate the organization's activities at the national level. Specifically, these dues contribute to the production of materials such as Teen Times, which is an important publication for members that provides information, inspiration, and updates about FCCLA initiatives and events. They also fund the operations of the National Headquarters, which is the central hub for the organization, and support the national staff who manage programs, provide resources, and assist local chapters.

Additionally, dues help foster partnerships with sponsors, enabling the organization to enhance its programs and outreach efforts. By funding these critical components, national dues play a vital role in maintaining the overall structure and functionality of FCCLA on a broader scale, ensuring that local chapters receive the necessary support and resources to thrive.
