2015 California State FFA Conference

This year's California State FFA conference was, as usual, nothing short of amazing. Every year when students come back you hear them all say the same things, it never fails. They can't stop talking about how much fun they had, the friends they made, things that they learned, and stories that left an imprint on them in turn leaving them inspired.

For those of you who may not know, State Conference is a four day leadership conference held in Fresno, California with more than 5000 members and guests in attendance. Throughout these four days, members have the opportunity to learn and grow in workshops, listen to keynote speakers and retiring addresses from State Officers, visit a career show, and MUCH MORE... Oh yeah, we can't forget a concert from Dustin Lynch! Students learn a lot crammed into these four days but they still had a blast learning how to apply the "Reach Out" theme to their own lives once they got home.


I asked a couple of attendees from PRFFA what their favorite parts of State Conference were, here's what they had to say:



"State Conference has been a great opportunity for me the past two years to meet new people from other chapters around the state of California. Most importantly, I enjoyed getting closer with the other members of my chapter." -Kara Bullard

"We had so much fun learning from Rick Riggsby, our amazing state officers, national officers and seeing all the ways we can excel in FFA. I was truly inspired by all of these kids who can make hard work pay off! Hope in humanity = Restored!!" -Sarah Brown

 "State Conference is valuable for students to participate in general sessions, educational leadership workshops, and engage in the career show!" -Mrs. Gardner
