POA Contest

FFA Chapters use their Program of Activities (POA) to plan and develop their goals for the year. A well-planned and well-executed program of activities can help students develop their leadership and planning skills. These skills are essential in all careers; developing and conducting the POA provides students opportunities to prepare for their futures

 

Scrapbook Contest

The Scrapbook Career Development Event seeks to actively prepare the students to document the history of the chapter by using different forms of media. Communication skills are developed through the collection and creation of multi-media materials from various events attended throughout the year. The scrapbook will serve as a recruitment and advertisement tool, within the chapter, school and community.
