Chillicothe FFA Officer Teams recently attended the LEAD conference.

Over 1200 local Chapter FFA Officers, 24 advisors and 156 chapter officers attended the annual LEAD training. The LEAD (Learn, Educate, Advance, and Develop) training is designed to help prepare each officer team for their term of service for the 2017-2018 school year.

The officers were provided team-building and bonding opportunities, the opportunity to increase their knowledge about advocating for agriculture and agricultural education, work on their chapter’s Program of Activities, guidelines for leading a chapter meeting, and help with planning an FFA event.

They also had the opportunity to attend breakout sessions on leading a meeting, planning events, and more in-depth knowledge on advocating. The choice to become active team members and make a positive difference in the lives of local FFA members, school and community were evident at each site.

These conferences are sponsored by the Missouri FFA Leadership Fund.

The facilitators consisted of past state officers and they were divided into a north and a south team.  Training was held at 8 different locations throughout the state. Through interactive workshops, the facilitators encouraged the officer teams to reach outside their comfort zone to provide leadership opportunities for their local chapters.
