Brechbuhler places fourth in Missouri FFA Creed Speaking contest
COLUMBIA , Mo., April 17, 2009 – The Missouri FFA Association awarded Liz Brechbuhler of Aurora, Mo., fourth place in the Missouri FFA Creed Speaking contest at the 81st Missouri FFA Convention.

A panel of judges determines each participant’s score. FFA members gain self-confidence, presentation skills, poise and sharpen their ability to think quickly as they participate in the activity.
The Missouri FFA has 24,410 members representing 317 chapters. The national organization has more than 507,000 members representing 7,439 local chapters in 50 states, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands .
