Peabody-Burns chapter attends conference
Leaders of 24 FFA chapters from across Kansas, including the Peabody-Burns FFA Chapter attended the second session of the 47th annual state FFA Conference for Chapter Leaders, July 11-13. The conference was held at Barton County Community College and Camp Aldrich at Great Bend.
Members who attended the conference were Jessica Gillett, reporter; Prescilla Partridge, secretary; Eric Buller, parliamentarian; Derek Benson, president; Jason Unruh, treasurer; Ben Jantzen, vice president; and Sonya Roberts, adviser.
During the conference, presented by the 2005-2006 Kansas FFA state officers, leaders were able to build leadership skills and help learn the roles they were elected to fulfill in their chapter.
The first day of the conference was spent learning the duties of their respective office as well as how they can serve as role models for their chapter members and lead their chapters with purpose over the coming year.
The second day, students had the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of how to successfully operate their chapter.
The final day of the conference was spent learning how to apply the knowledge and skills they had gained at SCCL back in their home chapters with workshops on planning chapter activities and revising chapter constitutions.
