Wisconsin FFA State Officer Training

This week I am pleased to have the opportunity to be working with the newly elected State FFA Officer team of the Wisconsin FFA Association! In addition to running Aggie-Lance, I get the opportunity to work with FFA students across the country as a leadership facilitator. Primarily, I work as a freelance leadership trainer, and seasonal employee of the National FFA Organization.

After just one day with the new Wisconsin officer team, I can tell they are a bright bunch, just chomping at the bit to make a positive difference in the lives of nearly 18,000 members in the Wisconsin FFA Association. This conference will challenge me as a trainer to make sure the content and delivery is at a high enough level, enabling them to gain all they can from our time together.

The conference we are currently in is called BLAST Off, or Building Leaders and Strong Teams of Officers. It is typically three and a half days long, and includes items such as building a personal mission statement, developing and delivering speeches, team building, conversation skills, communicating the FFA brand, and more! With the quality of leaders this association has elected, it is certain to be a great conference...and a great year for Wisconsin FFA!
