Congratulations Katelyn for being selected FFA Member of the Week!

Join Reis Seeds from C**n Rapids as they begin to celebrate our future ag leaders and farmers by highlighting FFA members from our local chapters.

Today’s FFA Member of the Week is Katelyn Dreher from Audubon High School. We asked each member a few questions to highlight their skill and achievements they’ve gained so far.

Question: What inspired you to join FFA, and what have you enjoyed most about being a member?
Since I was around 3 years old, I have attended the state leadership conference every year and I’ve looked up to the organizations leaders all of my life. Being a member, I have enjoyed taking on leadership roles myself and meeting people who have held positions similar to mine.

Question: How has FFA helped you grow — whether in leadership, skills, or confidence?
FFA has provided me with amazing leadership opportunities. Trips like the Washington Leadership Conference or contests like Creed Speaking or Ag CSI have developed my confidence and communication skills. I aspire to use these skills to benefit members in this organization.

Question: What are your future goals, and how do you see FFA helping you achieve them?
Serving as a chapter officer and competing in multiple leadership development events at state has strengthened my leadership skills, earning me the opportunity to run for a district officer position. In the future, I would love to become a state officer.

Reis Seeds of C**n Rapids is a proud supporter of all our area FFA Chapters. Follow Reis Seeds on Facebook!
