Room Consultants: KNOW Your Event!!! Read and dissect your event two weeks before event You are representing FCCLA to our business professionals Be ONE with your event

Negative Feedback from Evaluators: “Our Room Consultant did not know the rules of the event. ” “I would suggest having Room Consultants that are not only knowledgeable of the event, but also of the evaluation/judging process. ” “It seemed a bit unorganized when we first arrived as our Room Consultant had not arrived yet. It would have been helpful if the Room Consultant had arrived before the Evaluators so that they were there to explain things and answer questions prior to the contest itself as a first -time Evaluator, I felt rushed to get my questions answered. I did not meet my Room Consultant until approx. 5 -10 minutes before the competitors arrived. ”
