State FFA Leadership Conferences in Bismarck

 Bismarck - Three leadership conferences for members of the FFA will be held in Bismarck on January 6-7, 2007.  The Greenhand (GH) conference which will be conducted by the North Dakota State FFA Officer team, will be held at the Ramkota Hotel. This segment of the tri-conference will involve FFA members who are freshmen and are learning about the FFA and how to become a good member in an organization.

 For sophomores, the Made for Excellence (MFE) conference is aimed at the development of basic leadership skills in members. This group will also be at the Ramkota Hotel.

The Advanced Leadership Development (ALD) conference is aimed at grades 11-12 with the focus on working with chapter leaders who may become leaders in the state and perhaps on a national level.  This conference will be held at the Radisson Inn.

Steve Zimmerman, State Supervisor of Ag-education and FFA said, "These conferences are a great opportunity for students to work toward becoming both better members and better leaders. The skills they learn here will better them as individuals but, more important, they are skills they can take home to their chapters, school and community. The over 700 students attending this conference weekend are the best and the brightest youth of North Dakota agriculture."

 Conference sponsors are the Tom and Francis Leach Foundation, Nodak Mutual Insurance, and the CHS Foundation.
