Area Leadership Training (ALT)
Area Officer Experience
2025 Area Officer Experience
This groundbreaking initiative, the first in our state, offers hands-on experience, advanced leadership training, and unique networking opportunities. Area officers will gain invaluable skills to benefit their FFA chapters and personal growth. As this is our inaugural run, we expect some challenges, but we'll tackle them together. Don't miss this chance to shape the future of agricultural leadership and be part of a transformative program. Let's make this pilot a success!
