CAL Conference (California Agriculture Leaders)
Each year, collegiate students have the opportunity to compete in a variety of public speaking competitions.. As summarized by prior student Kayla Welcher, "My favorite part of going is... competing in many of the same contests I loved in FFA." The continuation of encouraging students to practice their leadership and speaking skills is a main focus of the CAL Spring Competition and Conference.
"For most students at the contest, they thrive off the thrill of the competition," reflects MJC student, Tyler Menane. Welcher adds, "I get to speak about something that I'm passionate about."
