Blinn College in Brenham.
Throughout the day, mem-

workshops and events put on
by the Area 3 officer team.
Each member took part
in activities that focused on
character building, personal
development, teamwork, and
leadership skills. They also
got a chance to interact with
other FFA members from the
Area 3 Association.
Hannah Kulak, the Area 3
sentinel, put on a workshop to
teach FFA members valuable
skills needed to be a success-
ful leader.
All of the chapter officers
learned a great deal from
these sessions and left with
enhanced skills and knowl-

games and activities put on
by the state officers.
The officers gave motivat-
ing speeches and inspired
FFA members to get out of
their comfort zones. Boling
FFA members learned a tre-

with them.
