Marci Hamish, daughter of Bob
and Marti Hamish, of Manheim, is
FFA state vice president. She
attended the conference for the
first time.
Hamish said that, while defin
ing a “leader" is difficult, she has
learned that, “A leader isn’ta boss,
a leader is a partner.”
She said she also learned that
anyone can be a leader and that
many people are leaders, even
though they may not be in the publ
ic spotlight
“I think everybody has the abili
ty to be a leader, they just use it in
different ways,” Hamish said

behind the scenes, they are leaders.

As a state officer, Hamish said
the experience of attending the
conference was rewarding in ways
other than what was expected.
“I thought it went very well.
(The state officers’) premier objec
tive was to get members motivated
to go back to their chapters and get
their members involved, and to let
them know about the opportunities
that are available in FFA,” she
said, adding that the event also
provided an opportunity for the
1994-95 officers, elected on June
16, to work together for the first
time. Hamish said that added to
her experience.
“I got to know the students. This
was the first official thing (the
1994-95 state officers) did,” she
said. Through it, Hamish she
learned better, “ ... how we can
interact It gives (me) a better
sense of how we are going to be
working together.”
Hamish said she senses that it
will be a good experience.
Jenny Zerfoy, daughter of Nevin
and Isabel Zerby, of Beavertown,
is president of the state FFA. It was
also her first conference.
“I learned how to interact with
the other kids and how to get them
to open up and tell me what they
like to do. I also saw how other
picked up.”
Zerby said she saw her role as
instructor and participant. She said
that she and the officers gave
instruction on how to present
awards, introduce guests or speak-

“During the motivational speak

and listened as they did. We
learned the same as they (other
FFA members) did,” she said.
Also, she said that by teaching
others, she learned more about her
self, what was more effective for
her in communicating a message to
others.
