Each year the Northwest district and Iowa FFA officers plan and facilitate Chapter Officer Leadership Training (C**T) conferences for officers to attend. This year, our group traveled to Dordt University to attend workshops focusing on advocating for the agriculture industry, connecting with stakeholders, recruiting for the local chapter, and working as a cohesive team. We also squeezed in a quick trip Culvers to end the day!
