CHS New Leaders Institute

One of my favorite excursions this year was on December 3rd.  Katie and I were invited to help out at the CHS New Leaders Institute.  The New Leaders Institute is put on by CHS, over 100 qualified young leaders in cooperatives are invited to be a part of this great experience.  The people came from all over the country.

Katie and I were helpers at this event.  We did things such a passing the mic around and running errands for some of the CHS staff.  While there we caught the great keynote address by past National FFA Officer Mark Mayfield.  

I then headed down to the Minneapolis Convention Center to help Ms. Jesse Frank in setting up the CHS New Leaders Institute booth.  We had a great conversation about the strong relationship CHS has with the Minnesota FFA Association.

It took Katie and I a bit to find our way out of downtown Minneapolis but we eventually did.  It was a great end to a busy week in FFA world.
