Who is authorized to use the name "FCCLA" and its emblem?

The correct answer is that only members who have paid their dues are authorized to use the name "FCCLA" and its emblem. This is because membership comes with certain rights and responsibilities, including the use of the organization’s official name and branding. By requiring that members pay their dues, FCCLA ensures that individuals are committed to the organization and its goals, which helps maintain the integrity of the brand. Members who have fulfilled this requirement are recognized as part of the organization and can legitimately use the name and emblem in a manner that reflects their membership and affiliation.

The other options reflect misunderstandings about membership and branding in FCCLA. While anyone interested in family and consumer sciences may appreciate the organization's mission, they do not have the right to represent themselves using its name or emblem without being a dues-paying member. Similarly, while students in high school might be involved in relevant activities, they cannot use the FCCLA branding unless they have formally joined as members and paid their dues. National officers, while they have distinct responsibilities, derive their authority from being dues-paying members within the larger context of the organization, thus reinforcing the principle that only those who have committed to FCCLA through membership can use its name and emblem.
