Junior Angus Members Raise the Bar in Ohio

 

Members of the National Junior Angus Association (NJAA) came together for the Raising the Bar Conference, Nov. 2-4, 2007, at Certified Angus Beef LLC (CAB), Wooster, Ohio.  The conference involved 29 attendees from five states, plus four NJAA directors.

Raising the Bar is a highly intensive officer training for officers to build stronger teams within their junior associations and develop and utilize regional relationships.  Raising the Bar is open to five state officers and two state advisors from each state in that region, and is made possible through financial support from the Angus Foundation.

The workshops at the Raising the Bar conference covered topics such as the secrets of the American Angus Association®, fundraising and budgets, membership, public speaking, scholarships and awards, and parliamentary procedure.  Some of the activities the attendees participated in were team building, a devotional and a social.  Along with the workshops and activities the conference included a tour of the CAB office.

One other Raising the Bar Conference has been held in Saint Joseph, Mo.  Two more are planned for spring 2008 in the West and South.

The National Junior Angus Association promotes the involvement of young people in raising Angus cattle, while also providing leadership and self-development opportunities for more than 7,000 active members nationwide.
