What does "Show Me 5" encourage?

"Show Me 5" encourages each chapter to affiliate five more members than they did the previous year. This initiative is designed to promote growth and strengthen the organization by increasing membership numbers. The rationale behind this approach is that a larger membership can lead to greater diversity of ideas, more resources, and ultimately a more vibrant and active chapter. By setting a specific, measurable goal of adding five members, chapters can create targeted outreach strategies that engage potential new members and highlight the benefits of joining FCCLA. This initiative nurtures a sense of community and encourages existing members to take an active role in recruitment, thereby reinforcing the chapter's foundation and sustainability for the future.

The other choices, while relevant to chapter activities, do not specifically align with the core aim of "Show Me 5" in fostering membership growth. Focusing solely on community service events or conference participation, or limiting efforts to fundraising, addresses different aspects of chapter engagement rather than the direct goal of increasing overall membership.
