On September 13th, 2017, the Putnam County FFA chapter attended the Area III FFA Leadership Conference in Queen City. Twenty one FFA members attended this event; those members were (picture l-r): Kelly, Cole, Colder, Josh, Destiny, Grant, Tori, DJ, Kaitlyn, Alexis, Garret, Megan, Jade, Stephanie, Justin, Holly, Aaron, Elizabeth, Whitney, Alaina and.Shelby. This conference was a great way to improve and develop leadership skills and the chapter is very pleased with the amount of members who attended. We started the evening off with a speech from our Missouri State FFA Vice President from Area III, Abby Turner. Members then broke out into sessions to learn about ways to become a better leader. Session topics were: Activity Fair, College Fair, how to have a successful interview, Leadership 101, and many more. To end the conference, Citizen Soldier, Don Koonce gave a motivational speech about September 11th, 14th, and 17th and how these days influenced his life.
