National Event Winners - Parliamentary Procedure 2014
LOUISVILLE- Winners of the National FFA Parliamentary Procedure Career Development Event
(CDE) were announced on Friday at the annual awards banquet. The event was held in conjunction
with the 87th National FFA Convention & Expo in Louisville, Ky. Dr. James Connors of Idaho served
as superintendent of this year's event.
The members of the national winning team each received cash awards to recognize their success in
the event. The cash awards and the parliamentary procedure event are sponsored by TransCanada
as a special project of the National FFA Foundation. TransCanada is proud to support the National
FFA Organization as they help youth realize their potential and guide them on their path to becoming
future land stewards and leaders.
The National FFA Parliamentary Procedure CDE tests students' ability to effectively communicate
ideas during a meeting. Components included a general knowledge exam of parliamentary law, a
ten-minute demonstration of parliamentary procedure, oral questions, written minutes of the
demonstration as well as a team problem solving activity. Each team competed on local and state
levels to earn the privilege of representing their state at the National FFA Convention & Expo.
The event, held at the Galt House Hotel and Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Ky., is one of
many educational activities at the National FFA Convention & Expo in which FFA members practice
the lessons taught in agricultural education classes.
