Skyler Jose and Jenna Cantrell, delegates for DeKalb County Farm Bureau, participated in the Tennessee Leadership Summit at Tennessee Technological University June 20-23.
The students participated in engaging and exciting virtual sessions. Some of the sessions were titled: “Me”: Who am I as a leader?; “We”: Better Together!; and “Community”: The impacts of agriculture on communities-locally and globally. This leadership program is a partnership with TTU College of Agriculture and Human Ecology and brings together high school students from across the state.
Farm Bureau has worked closely with TTU to develop a dynamic program focused on leadership, cooperation, and developing an understanding of the critical importance of Tennessee’s agriculture industry. This year was challenging being virtual. The delegates were encouraged to use their leadership in the community. DeKalb County Farm Bureau appreciates Skyler and Jenna for representing DeKalb County well.
