Attention STAR Events Participants
The STAR Events On-line Project Summary Form must be included with all national STAR Events. PA-only STAR Events do not require the Project Summary Form. Members can access the Project Summary Form through the student affiliation portal. Your project information may be used by FCCLA in communication with potential partners, FCCLA publications, and general use by FCCLA national headquarters, but personal information will not be included. Don't forget to print the proof of submission page at the end of the survey.
