Kadence Boender tells Brownfield state officers have a lot of responsibilities. “As state reporter, I’m in charge of running our social media pages. Pretty much anything you see on the Iowa FFA Facebook or Instagram pages, me and the secretary have posted there. And then going around doing chapter visits throughout the year all over the state.”
She says the position helped her build connections. “With my teammates, with members from across the state, and members across the nation. Those connections and memories we have together is something I’ll always remember.”
Boender says FFA has helped shape who she is. “I was a shy kid as a freshman who came in. With creed speaking, I found my voice and it changed my life from there. I kept wanting to compete and kept wanting to get active and involved.”
She spoke to Brownfield at the 97th Iowa FFA State Convention, which concluded Tuesday, April 15th in Ames.
