FFA state officers will celebrate FFA week by meeting with Alaska legislators in Juneau. FFA State Director Jeff Werner, a SNRAS research professional, will accompany FFA State President Corinne Ogle of Homer and State Reporter Isaac Courson of Palmer to the Capitol. While in Juneau the three will talk with legislators about career and technical education programs in Alaska, especially high school agriscience and natural resources education. This year's theme for national FFA Week, Feb. 22-26, is "Lead Out Loud!"
Also while in Juneau the FFA contingent will meet with Commissioner of Education Larry LeDoux, Commissioner of Labor Cliff Bishop, and the Alaska Workforce Investment Board during their annual meeting. Their emphasis with the legislators will be spending time with those who have FFA programs in their districts. "Corrine and Isaac have been preparing for this event and will represent Alaska's young people involved in agriculture and natural resources with pride and dignity," Werner stated.
