It was a JAM PACKED week for the State Officers (plus our 2 additional delegates, Ali Higgs from Western Hills FFA and Stephanie Jackson from Central Hardin FFA)!! We got to participate in committee meetings discussing issues facing our organization, attend every amazing session, see hundreds of Kentucky jackets walking around Indy, congratulate winners at the annual Kentucky breakfast Friday morning, watch 143 KY FFA members receive their American degrees, and watch six new National Officers be installed! Barren River Region State Vice President, Gabrielle Burgess, received the HUGE honor of serving on the national nominating committee to choose the slate of national officers for 2010-2011 and I got to help represent Kentucky in the Ag Sales CDE. It was definitely an exciting week for everybody!
Here's a look at some more of the successes at the convention:
We had 8 national proficiency finalists and 2 winners, Aaron Wheeler from LaRue County and Justin Goodlett from Spencer County.
Courtney Cox from Spencer County and Ashly Jones from Bell County were chosen as two of ten National Agri-Entrepreneurship Winners.
Spencer County FFA was chosen as the National Winner in Model of Innovation - Student Development.
James Lyons was chosen as a National Star Farmer Finalist.
Jared Hodskins was chosen as a National Star in Agribusiness Finalist.
As you can see, Kentucky was VERY well represented at National Convention! Congratulations to all of these amazing chapters and members, but this is only a partial list! Be looking for CDE results soon!
