And finally, but Certainly Not Least!
It is hard to believe how quickly this year has gone…national convention, chapter visits, Japan, FFA week, camps, conventions, SPC, and NLCSO’s.
The Sunday morning following SPC, Morgan and I got in our final rental car and hit the road for our last NLCSO in Dover Delaware!
It was hard to believe that Monday morning we would begin presenting our last of these conferences. The states in attendance were Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, and Delaware. These east coasters showed up excited, enthusiastic, and raring to learn some new tools to use their state officer years to take back to their state’s membership!
Highlights from this NLCSO:
1) The incredible spirit, pep, and state chants that went on to win the ever popular “GRAMMY” award (thank you to which ever state broke the GRAMMY, we won’t name names…cough, Pennsylvania). J
2) The BBQ Cook-out by the Caesar Rodney Delaware FFA chapter—can you say a “taste of heaven!”
3) Wednesday night’s DANCE! That’s right, DJ and all! Morgan and I experienced our first encounter with the CRAZY dance known as the “percolator.” (Hanna, you totally get the GRAMMY for your skills on this dance!)
4) The Banquet dinner where the Governor of Delaware attended and shared her passion for agriculture.
5) The 48 amazing state officers who Morgan and I got to know (definitely the highlight for me).
Needless to say, this NLCSO may have been the final one for Morgan and I, but it certainly wasn’t the least. Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, and Delaware, thank you. Thank you for caring so much about helping others to discover the value of American agriculture, passion for service, and importance of leadership. Thank you all for what you have done for others, what you are doing this year, and what you will continue to do in your futures.
To all those who Morgan and I got to know at NLCSO’s, remember why you ran for state office. A state officer is just like any other FFA member, except you have a circle of influence handed to you. What you do with that circle of individuals you can influence is up to you. Use what you have learned, continue to grow, and be the best role model and leader your state has ever seen! You don’t need any “good luck” wishes, because I know you all will do a fantastic job without it!
