This annual event is the largest one-day FCCLA gathering in the state, bringing together thousands of members from across Oklahoma. Students participated in an exciting day filled with leadership development, including keynote speakers, state officer elections, STAR Event recognitions, and engaging, hands-on workshops.

A former middle and high school Career and Technical Education instructor, Grady is the founder of TNT Enterprises, Inc., where he provides high-impact training programs and seminars across the nation and internationally. With more than 18 years of experience as the Florida FCCLA State Executive Director, he brings a wealth of knowledge in leadership and personal development.
