The August 2007 COLT conference was held August 10-11,
at the Georgia FFA/FCCLA Center near 
year’s COLT theme was “Right On
Target.” Chapter officers were challenged to understand their role as leaders
in their chapters and communities. Each officer team attended workshops in
community service, fundraising, recruitment, and parliamentary procedure; to
help create their Program of Activities for the coming year.
Chapters also had the opportunity to demonstrate their
skills in the opening ceremony contest. East
Jackson High took 
home the victory in the high school
division of the opening ceremony contest.
The individual with the highest scores in their respective officer
position is awarded the honor of conducting opening ceremonies for the
banquet. Presiding as president was Cameron
Barfield of the Upson-Lee FFA chapter; Vice President, Taylor Schieszer- East Jackson County High; Secretary; Kasey Moody- East Jackson County High; Treasurer, Johnny
Fells- Northside; Reporter, Adriane Chrisley- East Jackson County High; and Sentinel, McCord Brickle- Evans High. The coveted Spirit Award presented to
the team that demonstrates a hard working, winning attitude was bestowed upon
the Etowah FFA chapter. The Pike County
High FFA Chapter captured the first ever Most Balanced POA award.
One of the best aspects of COLT is
getting to meet new people and make new friends. Officers are able to plan the year ahead
while simultaneously capturing ideas from fellow FFA members from other
chapters. There is plenty of fun to be
had at COLT, officers completed the challenge course, enjoyed the recreation of
the camp, and socialized at the dances.
You do not miss out on next year’s COLT!
