CC hosts area FFA leadership conference By Jackie Boyd

The Area I FFA Leadership Conference was held in Clarendon earlier this week. 

About 200 FFA members graced the Clarendon College campus Monday through Wednesday for wild games, crazy stunts, and a lot of exceptional leadership training.

The Leadership Conference was a three-day event in which Area officers conduct several different workshops and leadership clinics.

Chapter officers attended workshops to learn what is in store for the FFA in the new year.  It also gave Chapter officers a chance to learn new activities and leadership skills to take home and use in their local FFA Chapters.

“It is a great learning opportunity,” said Will Edwards, who is the Dumas FFA advisor. “The kids go home with so much enthusiasm they can’t wait for school to start so they can share the new ideas they learned at the conference with other members of the chapter.”

Some of the leadership workshops the FFA members attended included “Think on Your Feet” and “Create Your Own Success.” The main goal of the workshops was to get the kids to think for themselves and to come up with goals to help them with their success in the FFA, as well as in their personal lives.
