Dear 2015 State Delegates, First, the State Executive Council members thank you for coming to the State State FCCLA Conference April 16 Conference.

Friday Speaker Sessions are a special time with speakers. Hear from Morris Morrison, Al Newman, Jerrid Sebesta, and a distracted driving prevention message from Matt Logan. See the “State Of Using” session and learn how you can take this prevention message back to your school.
Later in the evening, get all dressed up to attend the “Academy Awards”. Take part in a night full of awards and see the new State Executive Council members!

Thursday 1:00 pm State FCCLA Conference April 16 ‐ Senior High‐Grade 10‐12 delegates “Build Your Power Brand for the Job Market” Joe Mayne– Grand Ballroom Joe’s dynamic program covers how you can estab- lish your own personal brand while you’re at school and have employers give you the most “share of mind” in their “purchase decision” to hire you. From building brand equity, shelf life, label power and brand velocity, you will leave with the tactics and “Hire Me” factors you need to be successful in the marketplace.
Thursday 2:00 pm Junior High‐Grade 6‐9 delegates “Beyond Mediocre: The 7 P's to Personal Greatness” Joe Beckman‐Grand Ballroom "Greatness lives in every student. No matter who you are, or where you come from...whether you're the quarterback of the football team, or the least pop- ular student in your school...you're on this planet for a reason. And I believe that reason is this: to use your gifts & passions in service to oth- ers. Wanna know the cool thing?...everyone has gifts, and everyone can serve." ~ Joe Beckman In Beyond Mediocre Joe shares relevant stories, poignant advice, and tangible practices that chal- lenge students to push beyond safe, easy, and aver- age. Through a combination of humor, science, and motivation, Joe breaks down the 7 P's that lead to our personal greatness, and how we can use our gifts & passions in service to others. First General Session-Thursday 4:30 pm Eddie Slowiskowski

General Session– Friday morning 8:30 am
Morris Morrison‐ Grand Ballroom State FCCLA Conference April 16 Why is there so much energy and buzz when people talk about Morris Morrison? It’s simple. Once you meet him and experience his presence, you will see why. After being born in New York City, Morris Morrison was orphaned by the death of his birth parents. As a teen, he found himself on his own once again after the loss of his adoptive par- ents. After finding a way to transition through the adversi- ty that he faced early in life, Morris Morrison learned about the secret advantage that comes with tough challenges - Motivation! Morris used this motivation to fuel his dream to help other succeed, and to fuel his personal and profes- sional development.
Don’t DrIvE Distracted State Summit Friday 10:00 am-Grand Ballroom and Garden Court
Matt Logan–His daughter Deej was on her way home after her first day of her senior year at Byron High. She's the kid who al- ways wore purple and a smile. She had lots of friends, good grades and a perfect driving record. Like many of us, a cell phone was her constant companion. First responders found it on the floor of her minivan. When investigators unlocked the phone, they found a lengthy unsent text message and figured she was responding to a friend while driving 63 miles per hour. She never saw the bus. She passed away at the hospital five hours after typing that message. "Desperately trying to take a horrible tragic situation in our family and turn it into something that can be pos- itive for others," Matt Logan said. The Logans don't want anyone to endure a similar tragedy. They tell their story in schools, but the message is truly for all ages: No text, no email, not anything on a cell phone is worth dying for while driving.
1:00 pm Session‐Jerrid Sebesta Grand Ballroom

5 2:30 pm Friday Session -All delegates Al Newman-Grand Ballroom It is safe to say if you are a Minnesota Twins fan then you know the name Al State FCCLA Conference April 16 Newman also known as Newmie. He is one of 7 Twins who hold two World Series rings. Newman is a two-time World Series Champion with the Twins in 1987 and 1991 and played in more than 850 big league games with the Mon- treal Expos, Twins and Texas Rangers from 1985-92. Al, a sure-handed de- fensive infielder who could play all over the place, was a valuable utility player and fast runner. Primarily a second baseman but also played shortstop, third base and left field at some point in his career. When Ron Gardenhire became manager of the Twins in 2002 Newman was promoted to the Major Leagues and became the third base coach of the Twins, where he remained until 2005. After leaving the Twins following the 2005 season Newman became an ad- vanced scout for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Whether playing or coaching Al’s bubbly personality brought a lot of energy to the clubhouse, he was al- ways smiling and laughing, keeping the players loose and eager to play with a positive attitude.
3:30 pm Friday Ballroom All delegates-“State of Using”-Grand Ballroom Hear speakers and the introduction of a documentary film about the state of abuse of drugs and alcohol in Minnesota. A film was created of life stories by former users-young people who made the wrong choices but recovered. In response the 2013 MYC youth survey that identified drug and alcohol abuse, bullying, and crime/safety/gangs as the top issues facing youth in Min- nesota, the MYC brainstormed innovative solutions to each issue. As a result of this process and focusing on drug and alcohol abuse, the MYC is proud to have created a documentary, “State of Using“, as part of their philanthropic work. Through the Minnesota Youth Council’s mission to bring youth voice to discussions of community is- sues, this documentary aims to tell the stories of young people across Minnesota and how substance abuse has impacted their lives. The film highlights the voices of Noah, Matt, Leon, Alex and Kanesha and their experiences. The film was created, filmed, and edited by youth, and was made by Minnesota Youth Council in part- nership with Intermedia Arts, Minnesota Alliance With Youth, and Youthprise. Saturday Final Session 9:00 am Holly Hoffman-Grand Ballroom Born and raised in Eureka, South Dakota, Holly Hoffman was the last remaining member of the Espada Tribe and the last woman standing on Season 21 of CBS’ hit reality show “Survivor Nicaragua”. Through that experience, and others throughout her life, Holly was inspired to share her message of positivity, determination and confidence with business leaders, ‐ teachers, and students across the nation. A member of the Eu- 18, 2015 reka, SD FCCLA Chapter, Holly remembers her adviser fondly. An accomplished motivational speaker and the author of Your Winner Within, Holly acknowledges that life is made up of chal- lenges, and we are oftentimes faced with situations that seem insurmountable. But within each of us is an ability to focus our thoughts, emotions, and energy to succeed—if only we have the knowledge, tools, and discipline to do so. Holly will inspire you to take opportunities and focus on attitude, determination, confidence, desire, faith, and perseverance.
