This handbook is designed to provide opportunities for members of the North Carolina Association of Future Homemakers of America (FHA) to demonstrate their proficiency with the competencies they have developed through participation in FHA and the home economics education program. The 25 events are designed to help develop lifetime skills in planning, goal setting, decision making, communication techniques, and leadership. Introductory materials include a participation summary chart, event eligibility summary chart, home economics course cross-reference chart, information on recognition, proficiency event fees, levels of competition, general rules and regulations, and regional application. Each event is classified by the following characteristics: event category, event type, level of recognition, grade level, and course requirement for eligibility. In addition, each event has a unique set of guidelines that are divided into these sections: event description; competency goals; rules for event participation; required procedures for participants; supplies, equipment, and materials; and rating sheet. Representative events are parliamentary procedure, illustrated talk, job application and interview, comparison shopping, the growing child display, survival sewing, nutritious snacks, functional interiors, family communications, and commercial foods.
