On June 5th, the Southern Region Officer
Team began their journey going on retreat
to Big Bear, CA. We had a blast! From
going grocery shopping, to staying up
watching The Hunger Games, the group
bonded with team building activities and
conducted a list of goals. Soon after the
retreat, the team met again ready for an
eight-hour drive to ROLC. We spent five
days in beautiful Tomales Bay where we
met the regional and state officers, the
State FFA Staff, and learned new skills
that we can bring back to our region. In
August, the Southern Region Sectional
Officer Leadership Summit was held
at Cal Poly Pomona. Sectional officers
learned icebreakers and participated in the
workshops presented by the state officers,
national candidate, and Dr. Miller to
prepare for their year of service. We even
introduced our theme, “Strike A Spark,
Ignite Your Passion.” Throughout everyone’s
journey, they will encounter a time where
they’ll capture something as a motive, a
stepping-stone, or better yet, a spark. A
spark will guide, set a goal, and ignite
a passion that burns bright. This year, the
regional officer team’s passion is to help
members find their very own spark!
