New Nebraska FCCLA state president hails from Imperial

    As a seventh grader, the ability to be involved in a variety of projects and competitive events is something that attracted Alexis Richmond to FCCLA.
    She also liked the chapter sponsor that year, Chelsie Thayer.
    Last weekend, the Chase County Schools junior learned she had reached one of the pinnacles of the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America organization.
    Richmond will serve Nebraska’s FCCLA as its state president in 2020-21.
    She is one of eight on the State Officer Team, who were named Saturday by the state board of directors.
    Richmond said the process en route to the state officer selections was a bit different this year due to restrictions in place, thanks to COVID-19.
    Normally, the announcement of officers comes at the state conference after a four-step process that starts in January, she said.
    However, some of the final steps had to be dealt with virtually since large groups, like at the state conference, have been restricted.
    After submitting applications in January, candidates went through an interview day in Lincoln in mid-February.
    “We had multiple rounds of interviews,” she noted.
