Governance
Eleven state officers (students) are elected by the voting delegates at the annual State Leadership Conference and together make up the State  Executive Council. The State Board of Directors is composed of adult representatives from education, professional associates, and business and two youth representatives. Local chapters elect their own youth officers. State programs come under the direction of Family and Consumer Sciences education staff. Chapter advisers are Family and Consumer Sciences teachers.

FCCLA is supported primarily by student membership dues.  Additional funds are raised from individuals.  FCCLA is endorsed by the U.S. Department of Education (Office of Vocational and Adult Education) and the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences (AAFCS).  PA FCCLA is endorsed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education in the Bureau of Career and Technical Education.  PA FCCLA seeks to development partnerships and sponsorships with agencies and business and industry.

The PA FCCLA State Adviser and PA FCCLA State Facilitator are Pennsylvania Deparment of Education Administrators of Family and Consumer Sciences Education.  Additional positions are sponsored on honorarium by the PA FCCLA Board of Directors.
