Our busiest time of the year is continuing, and Nipomo FFA has risen to the challenge. March 21-24, 41 students attended the California FFA State Leadership Conference and Expo, themed "Dawn". This conference highlights the hard work and achievements of the members of our entire state! Held in Ontario, CA, our students found themselves immersed in a fun engaging environment, with leadership workshops, and an entire expo hall dedicated to exploring colleges and businesses. Nipomo found success as we had 3 state officer candidates, with our every own Nola Zavala being slated for State Vice President! Tyler Korsberg won the highest receiving amount for the Almond Board of California Scholarship, with Abigail Danley receiving part as well. We were fortunate enough to win the large chapter award for the Ag-License Plates Drive, earning seats at the conference stadium. Every year, Nipomo brings two delegates to represent our chapter, and the following were nominated and chosen: Michael Russell and Genesis Bermeo Vega. This conference always sparks a new drive for enhanced leadership and personal growth, and we are forever grateful for the contribution of our Ag Friends for making this a reality for our members. 

Last but certainly not least, a huge congratulations to Mr. Zimmerman for receiving the Golden Owl Award for the 2025-2026 school year! An accomplishment very well deserved!
