SAMPLE THANK YOU TO REPRESENTATIVE
New York FFA offers our members leadership training and development throughout their time in FFA. State Leaders Experience (SLE) is the capstone leadership experience for New York FFA members. It provides experiences that help attendees learn how to apply leadership skills to real-life situations. This one-day intensive conference focuses on FFA members engaging directly with their local lawmakers to learn about the legislative process, the issues facing our industry, developing a message and telling their stories.
Check out the excellent work of students representing NY FFA at previous conferences!
