SPRINGFIELD -- The newly elected
state officer team of the Illinois Family, Career and Community
Leaders of America recently chose their president for the 2013-2014
year. Cady Lowery, a senior at Mount Pulaski High School, will lead
the organization, along with six other officers from across the
state.

One of Lowery's first responsibilities will be to serve as one of
the Illinois FCCLA voting delegates for the FCCLA National
Leadership Conference in Nashville, Tenn., July 6-12. While at the
national conference, she will also preside over the meetings of the
Illinois delegation. The remainder of her year will be packed with
attending conferences, presiding over meetings and preparing for the
2014 State Leadership Conference. The seven-member State Executive
Council is the backbone of the student-led organization. Under
Lowery's leadership during the upcoming year, they will plan a
variety of meetings and leadership activities to serve the nearly
4,000 members in the state of Illinois. Being selected as state
president is an opportunity that only one other Mount Pulaski FCCLA
member has ever experienced in the chapter's 61-year history.

"Cady Lowery is one of the most impressive young leaders that I
have had the privilege of working with!" said Marta Lockwood,
executive director for Illinois FCCLA. "She is self-motivated,
sincere and a great inclusive leader. I look forward to working with
her and the rest of the state officer team for the next school
year."
In addition to her responsibilities as state president at the
upcoming national conference, Lowery and her project partner, Jordan
Luczaj, will also compete in their Chapter Showcase Manual event.
Accompanying them will be Chelsea Siembida, who will compete in her
Nutrition and Wellness event, and Mr. Waterkotte, FCCLA adviser at
