LEAD workshops are held at eight sites throughout Missouri with more than 1,200 chapter officers expected to participate, according to Keith Dietzschold, Missouri FFA Advisor. “The training session focuses on empowering officer teams to work together effectively. Topics addressed include handling team conflict, team conduct standards, and effective use of chapter committees.” Past and current Missouri FFA Officers led the training sessions.
