State Leadership Summit (SLS)
Students from West Florida FFA Recently attended the 2015 State Leadership Summit. The following Students attended including Sara Herrington, Bradley Sanders, Melissa Mills, Joshua McLamb.
State Leadership Summit (SLS) is the premier leadership experience of the Florida FFA Association. Conference participants will obtain information on how to be an agricultural advocate for our organization, improve their communication strategies, evaluate and build character and top it all off with an inside look at the Florida FFA Delegate Process. While this conference is not mandatory, District, Sub-District and Federation officers are highly encouraged to attend in order to prepare for their role as leadership delegates at the State FFA Convention.
The State Leadership Summit (SLS) is designed to be the beginning of the delegate process that will culminate at the 87th State FFA Convention & Expo in June/July. During this conference, officers will help decide the future direction of the Florida FFA Association by discussing ideas and issues that are important to FFA and Agricultural Education. Students in attendance will form issue committees that will evaluate feedback from FFA chapters across the state and make recommendations to the delegate body at the state convention in June/July. In addition, those who attend the State Leadership Summit (SLS) will serve as leadership delegates throughout the delegate process at convention. Closely reflecting the operation of the state and national governments, participating in the delegate process gives students the opportunity to experience decision-making in action.
WFHS FFA members will be a part of setting the stage and building a strong FFA for future generations of FFA Members.
