🟦🟨 Officer school 2026! 🟦🟨
The 2026-2027 officer team spent 2 days hard at work learning what it means to be an officer, what to expect while being on the team, and the importance of moving forward together. These are just a few of the many topics that were brought up during our stay.
Not only did we work on chapter logistics, we also had team bonding at a series of different locations.
Thank you to .ffa for letting us into their very busy building during state convention prep. They provided our officer team with a tour of the facility and an opportunity to see how individuals across the state come together to work on putting on a show for hundreds of FFA members to enjoy!
Thank you to for letting us use their conference room so our officers can work together on planning for the upcoming school year.
A huge thank you goes to the UIS Challenge course for guiding our team through a series of challenges for our officer team to tackle and bond over. Some of the main focuses were that if one officer fails to do their part, it affects everyone. Additionally: Communication is essential to having a successful year where events run smoothly.
Finally, a massive thank you to James, who was our guide throughout the challenge course. He not only took us through the challenge course, but also took many of the photos you see above AND gave us a special tour of many of the facilities on the UIS campus including the UIS E-Sports facility, indoor sports training center, and a few on-campus statues/monuments.
Everyone on the officer team enjoyed everything we did and are very grateful for everyone that made this possible. We cannot wait for the new FFA yea to begin!
