Cherokee students vying for state FCCLA office

 

February 1, 2023

Davin Budy and Hope Jordan of Cherokee have made it to the final round of voting for the 2023-2024 state officer team of the Oklahoma CareerTech Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) student organization. Budy and Jordan are two of 17 contenders vying for a position on the 11-person team.

Hope Jordan, a junior at Cherokee High School, is the daughter of Ken and Anita Jordan. She is on the ballot as an at-large candidate. Davin Budy, a sophomore at Cherokee High School, is the son of Chad and Danielle Budy. He is on the ballot to represent Oklahoma as a national officer candidate. Their local FCCLA Adviser is Heather Gottsch.

The interview process began Jan. 26 to determine the final slate for state FCCLA officer elections to be held April 6 at the state convention in Oklahoma City.

"Students were interviewed, tested over FCCLA facts, and presented a one-minute speech within their region," said Brittani Phillips, state FCCLA advisor. "Seventeen students were chosen from the second round of interviews and will have their names on the final ballot. We have a wonderful ballot and look forward to these future leaders taking office and helping move Oklahoma FCCLA forward."

State officer team members are responsible for duties such as planning and conducting workshops, installing district officers, and leading chapter officer training. The officer team also plans and presides over state convention, works with members to increase membership, and helps to raise awareness of FCCLA in the state.

"Throughout the year, FCCLA members tackle issues such as teen violence prevention, traffic safety, family issues, career exploration and much more," Phillips said. "FCCLA programs enrich student learning, improve self-esteem, and serve students with a range of ability levels, economic situations, and cultural influences."
