The Brooks County Middle School FFA members recently attended the Annual South Region Leadership Rally held at Spencefield (Sunbelt Ag Expo) - Moultrie, GA. The South Region FFA Leadership Rally’s intention is to spark the interest of FFA members in the South Region and motivate member involvement in their local FFA Chapter for the coming school year. By preparing for competition in Career Development Events, participating in local community service projects, leadership conferences, and conventions, FFA Members get an edge on other students by starting the transition into becoming a servant leader. While attending the South Region Leadership Rally, members heard from speakers from Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, University of Georgia – Tifton, and South Region FFA Officers Team. Students also rotated through over ten different leadership activities led by the Area 5, Area 6, and State FFA Officers. Through these activities, students learned communication, teamwork, and leadership skills that they were able to bring back to their own FFA chapter.
FFA is a national organization of over 501,000 members preparing for leadership and careers in the science, business and technology of agriculture and Georgia ranks third in the nation in total FFA membership.
FFA is an integral part of the agricultural education program in public schools. The FFA mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.
