Each year a national junior leadership conference, called LEAD (Leaders Engaged
in Angus Development) is held. This conference moves around the country to give
more juniors the opportunity to participate. The programs are designed and
carried out by the Junior Activities Department and NJAA Board of Directors in
cooperation with the hosting state. This conference serves several purposes,
which include guiding junior who will in turn take part in guiding their
respective associations; providing an open line of communication for members of
different associations to share ideas, plans, goals, etc.; and giving each
individual an opportunity to take an active part, and in face, encouraging
participation by everyone present. Juniors learn about setting goals for
themselves and their association, and methods of accomplishing those goals. Not
only is the responsibility and success of the association stressed, but also the
responsibility, success and character of its individual members. |
