Over the weekend of September 10th through the 11th, the six San Luis Obispo FFA Sectional Leaders, (four of whom are also San Luis Obispo Chapter Officers), attended Sectional Officer Leadership Conference. The team members include President: J’aime Radding, Vice President: Hannah Ryan, Secretary: Sophie Maino, Treasurer: Haley Hurdle, Reporter: Lili Steel and Sentinel: Jacob Madden. The event, organized by the Regional Officers, taught members how to create the most meaningful experience during their year of service and how to embark on a “Pathway to a World of Opportunity.” Our Sectional leaders were able to lead a session, present leadership tips, practice the art of public speaking and presentation and taught the importance of teamwork and communication.
There was a “Senior Citizen” themed dance
Sectional leader, Hannah Ryan stated that the conference was a favorite of hers because “it was so personal.”
The San Luis Obispo High School Sectional Leaders were able to engage in workshops and listen to inspirational speeches presented by the 2016-2017 California State FFA Officers who encouraged them to make the most of their time serving their section, making an impact throughout their year and using it to its full advantage.
