Kanza Cooperative Association recently partnered with the Kansas FFA Foundation to provide training for the Kansas FFA Association Officers. The one-day program provided the six current state officers and Kansas’s candidate for national office with skills needed for interacting with business and industry professionals.

The training focused on business dinning etiquette, relationship building, key message development and meeting leadership for interacting in business settings. The event culminated with a real-world practice session where business professionals met with the officers and provided coaching on areas for improvement.

Kanza partnered with local businesses and individuals in Pratt to host the program including BTI and Stanion Electric, who each hosted a portion of the event.

Supporting organizations like the Kansas FFA Association and Foundation is one of the ways that Kanza is investing in our communities and the next generation of agricultural leaders.

The Kansas FFA Association is a statewide organization of more than 9,700 agricultural education students in 203 chapters in every corner of Kansas. It is part of the National FFA Organization, a national youth organization of 669,989 student members preparing for leadership and careers in the science, business and technology of agriculture with 8,630 local chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The organization’s mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.
