On March 21st, 2025, Golden Valley FFA had the exceptional opportunity to host the California FFA Regional meeting. Brooke Buckingham served as one of our voting delegates, and Greyson Dockstader and countless others enjoy watching how the regional meeting is done! As one of our delegates, Brooke says, "Being a voting delegate at the Regional Meeting is something I’ll always remember. I’m proud that Golden Valley FFA hosted such a successful event, and I’m even prouder that I got to play a role in it! I gained confidence in myself and learned how important it is to stay informed and engaged. One of my favorite parts of the meeting was listening to the candidate speeches. Every single one was inspiring in its own way. You could feel their passion, and their confidence honestly lit up the room. I would definitely attend something like this again, and I’d recommend it to any member who wants to get more involved and see the impact they can make." Golden Valley FFA is very proud of Brooke for boosting her involvement in agriculture and in leadership. Our 2024-2025 Chapter President, Greyson Dockstader, also attended the meeting, and here's what he has to say, "As a participant in this activity, the experience was truly eye-opening. It was inspiring to watch as passionate and dedicated individuals poured their hearts and souls into their speeches, striving to prove themselves as the best candidates for their respective positions. One of the most significant lessons I learned from this experience is that no matter how ambitious our dreams may seem, if we remain devoted and true to our passions, the rewards will not only be fulfilling but will drive us toward even greater success. This event served as a powerful reminder that dedication and authenticity are key to unlocking our full potential." The chapter is proud to have given these students the opportunity to expand their horizons. We hope there is much more to unlock for all our members!

On April 3rd-6th, eight Golden Valley FFA members attended the 97th Annual California State FFA conference. They had a wonderful time listening to inspirational speakers such as rodeo comedian Dale Brisby, the California State Treasurer Fiona Ma, Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond, and Miss USA Alma Cooper. Our students were also inspired by the retiring addresses from our now past state FFA officers and their stories of leadership. Out of our amazing students, we have Ashlynn Roduner, who served as a State Conference attendee on behalf of our chapter. Here's her experience from up in the stands, “Overall, the state conference was a fantastic experience; listening to the now past state officers stories was very inspiring, and I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to go. The people are so kind and genuine; it's a good experience if you want to meet new friends, learn about the FFA, or overall just bond with your chapter." Ashlynn is one of our seniors, so we are so happy she had a positive experience at her last State Conference as an active FFA member at Golden Valley. We also had one of our delegates down on the floor get us an inside scoop of what's going on behind the scenes. Here's the delegate rundown courtesy of Gregory Hennagan, “My time at the 97th Annual California FFA State Conference was very fun. Not only was I able to attend, I had the opportunity to be a voting delegate. I got to meet many people thanks to my experience as a delegate. I am honored to have been able to go through this experience, and I can't wait for next year!" We are glad to hear the 97th Annual State FFA Conference had such a lasting impact on our members. Golden Valley definitely can't wait until next year either! We here at Golden Valley FFA are proud representatives of what California FFA is all about. We are excited to see what the upcoming year has in store for us with our newly installed officer team! Our members are one hundred percent Central Region Proud! |
