Columbia FFA members had the opportunity to attend Section 22 Leadership Training School at Marissa High School!

The evening was packed with activities designed to help members strengthen their leadership skills, work together, and connect with other FFA members throughout the section.

A special thank you to Section 22 President Rylee Klingeman and the Section 22 Officers for putting together a great night! We also enjoyed hearing from Illinois State Officers Haven Cash and Owen Rigg as they shared their experiences and encouraged members to embrace new leadership opportunities.

We’re proud to see our members stepping up, getting involved, and continuing to grow into confident leaders! 💙💛
