Clare Richards
State President
Clare Richards
Hello Washington FCCLA! My name is Clare Richards, and I am serving as your State President this year. I attend Selah High School in Region 7 as a sophomore. I have been a member of FCCLA for four years, and my experiences through FCCLA have shaped me into the person who I have become today. One of my favorite parts of FCCLA is competing in STAR events. The past three years I have competed at the national level in STAR events, including 2 projects in the National Programs in Action Category, National Programs in Action: Student Body, National Programs in Action: Families First, and once in Professional Presentation.
Outside of FCCLA I enjoy running cross country and track. I also have been playing trombone for 5 years in school band. I have two younger sisters, one who is involved with our Selah Middle School FCCLA chapter. When I finish high school, I plan to pursue a career in litigation law, and an undergraduate degree in political science.
One of my favorite quotes is from Anne Frank, “How wonderful is it that nobody needs to wait a single moment before starting to change the world.” FCCLA has provided me with so many opportunities of growth and learning; I have gotten to travel to many places, including San Diego, California, and Columbus, Ohio. But so far, the most important part has been getting to know our amazing members. I am honored to serve you, and I am so excited for all that we are going to accomplish this year in Washington FCCLA!

To me, FCCLA means family. Not in the sense that the first letter is F for Family. But in the idea that officers and members alike will be there for each other and you no matter what. Whether it’s an early morning coffee run, or a hand to hold through a stressful time, you are never alone. I have found lifelong friends, mentors and connections.
As we work together this year, I strongly encourage you to stay connected through all Washington FCCLA social media.

My goal is to learn the ropes of business administration and utilize it by becoming an entrepreneur. FCCLA has given me the opportunity to better my leadership skills, as well as taught me how to better collaborate with others; improving these soft skills are helping me achieve my goals. My goal as a state officer this year is to ensure that members are aware and involved in FCCLA’s endeavors, so they have the opportunity to make a difference in their own communities. I look forward to serving you this year!

This year as a Regional Vice President, I hope to plan and run the fall regional conference smoothly while also growing my region and increasing the awareness of FCS courses in schools around my region. As being a part of the state team, I plan to convey all the concerns that my region has to the whole state office and be the bridge between my regional chapters and the state council. Lastly, I hope to help the whole state office team complete all program of work initiates successfully this year.
A college that I want to attend is the University of Washington, as it is closer to home and a diverse school. I hope to join the pre-med track in pursuing my goals to be a pediatrician. FCCLA made me discover that I loved kids and the ideology of family, making me lean towards being a pediatrician in the future. As I am senior during this office term, I still hope to be a part of FCCLA even after graduating! I am excited for this year, and can’t wait to meet all of you!

A couple of little fun facts about me include: 1. My favorite breakfast is French Toast. 2. I’m bilingual, so another activity I’m doing is the Multilingual Mentorship Program. 3. I used to play the Marimba when I was in 3rd and 4th grade. 4. I love talking and taking pictures of places I visit. 5. I am inspired by two of my aunts, who were the first to attend universities. They’ve always encouraged me to do my best. 6. I enjoy taking BuzzFeed quizzes. 7. I love rewatching Disney movies.
I’m overjoyed that I have been given the opportunity to be a part of this year’s state officer team, and I’m looking forward to this year!

During my time in FCCLA, I have received gold at both of this year’s regional and state STAR events and will be competing this year’s nationals in Denver!
After high school, I plan on attending a four-year university (hopefully the University of Washington!). Aside from that, I have some figuring out to do as a possible career path!
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time outside in nature whether that be a forest or a beach. I appreciate any time that I can spend with my friends and family, and I love music and try to collect all of my favorite albums as records! On the note of music, I always try to have at least one concert in my lineup for the upcoming year.
I am honored that I have been granted the opportunity to serve on this year’s state officer team and cannot wait to see what this year will bring! I can’t wait to meet as many of you as possible throughout the next year!

Along with FCCLA, I play the flute in my school marching band, am a member of DECA, and play on the tennis team every spring. I also enjoy reading, hiking, and going camping with my family. After graduating high school, I wish to attend the University of Washington to get a Bachelor of Science and Nursing. After completing my Bachelor’s degree, I plan to enter a career as an Operating Room Nurse, wanting to make a difference and provide patients with the care they need. FCCLA is a welcoming community of joy and kindness that I am proud to be a part of and help cultivate a culture for. Within the next year, I hope to help the chapters of region 10 become more involved in national projects and statewide campaigns, as well as plan engaging Fall and Winter region meetings members will enjoy. Looking towards the next year, I plan to work with the Washington FCCLA state officer team to make a lasting impact for FCCLA in our wonderful state. I am excited to serve you!
