Mississippi NLCSO

Hello All!

Can I just say that the State Officers from Mississippi, AlabamaLouisiana, and Puerto Rico are a TON of fun!  Check out some of these really cool pictures:

Becky Sullivan (National FFA Secretary) and I have the incredible privilege of traveling together to present the National Leadership Conference for State Officers (we refer to it as" NLCSO" ... another acronym in the FFA?  Can't be!  haha).  Throughout the summer we will be spending time with officers at four different conferences.  The first started off near Jackson Mississippi at the Mississippi FFA Conference Center.  MS, AL, LA, and PR state officers were all in attendance!

During the week we discovered some great tools that will aid us in our year of service, the state officers started planning major conferences, and we even had a crazy bowling night.  Not only were the state officers an awesome group to get to know, the time we spent together couldn't have been any better!

Stages of Team Development, Planning, Implementation, Barriers to Team Performance, Evaluation, and Results are just a few of the big ticket items we discover throughout the week.
The theme is "DISCOVER THE RHYTHM" and we spend a lot of time "Rocking Out" with some super cheesy videos filmed by my teammates.  I'm going to try and upload some of the videos for you all to see just how goofy we can be.

In the mean time, go swimming, drink iced coffee, and go hang out at the county fair for me!

Signing Out,
