For FCCLA
One place to run your FCCLA state association.
State advisors and chapter leaders coordinate STAR Events, manage membership, and run conferences that shape the student experience. CTSO Central brings it all together in one platform built around how FCCLA operates.
FCCLA management software is a platform that helps state associations and chapter advisors run the day-to-day operations of their Family, Career and Community Leaders of America program. This includes managing member rosters across middle school and high school divisions, collecting dues, registering attendees for district, regional, state, and national conferences, administering STAR Events (Students Taking Action with Recognition) spanning Career Investigation, Entrepreneurship, Culinary Arts, Interior Design, Teach and Train, and dozens of other categories, coordinating evaluators, calculating placements, and publishing results. Most state FCCLA associations currently piece this together using a combination of legacy tools, spreadsheets, and manual processes. CTSO Central is a purpose-built FCCLA management platform from Clearpoint Business Group that brings all of these capabilities into one system. It replaces the need for separate event entry, scoring, and membership tools with a single, modern interface that works on any device.
What you get
What does an FCCLA state association need from its management platform?
An FCCLA state association needs software that supports dozens of STAR Event categories across multiple levels. CTSO Central handles it all so your team can focus on students instead of logistics.
Membership and chapters
Manage FCCLA members and chapters across middle school and high school divisions in one roster. Import rosters in bulk, set up automatic renewal invoicing, and give advisors self-service tools to manage their own chapters.
STAR Events
