The eight Oklahoma FFA state officers planned and conducted this year's conference, which centered around the theme, "Go Forth and Conquer." The training focused on conflict resolution and the importance of having crucial conversations, encouraging officers to communicate effectively, work through challenges, and lead their chapters with confidence. Elected officers from each of the 94 high school FFA chapters in the north-east area attended the conference.
Scot Mathie served as the keynote speaker for the conference. Mathie is a nationally recognized leadership speaker, educator, and Managing Director of the TEAMTRI Training Agency. An expert in applied performance psychology, he is known for delivering high-energy, interactive leadership experiences that challenge audiences to lead with enthusiasm, consistency, and purpose.
"COLT Conferences is one of my favorite events of the year because it allows the State Officer Team to invest in every chapter officer team across Oklahoma," said Coy Davidson. Oklahoma FFA State President. "This year's workshop focuses on conflict and the importance of having crucial conversations. While conflict is inevitable on any team, it does not have to be destructive. By equipping officers with the tools to communicate effectively, work through challenges, and turn difficult moments into opportunities for growth, we hope they will return to their chapters ready to build stronger teams and lead with confidence."
