A member of the Uniontown FFA chapter earned first place in the FFA Creed Public Speaking Leadership Development Event (LDE) during the 90th Kansas FFA State Convention, May 30–June 1, 2018, on the Kansas State University campus.

Clay Brillhart is this year’s FFA Creed Public Speaking winner and received a plaque and cash award. After being announced as the winner, presented the FFA Creed to members and guests in attendance at the opening session of the Kansas FFA Convention.

Members in grades 7 through 9 recite the five-paragraph FFA Creed from memory and answer questions about its meaning. The event boosts confidence and develops the members’ ability to communicate in a professional and effective manner.

Shawnda Rutledge from the Riverton FFA chapter placed second in the Creed Public Speaking CDE, while Karrigan Dunstan of Rock Hills FFA placed third, and Sydney Bacon of South Haven FFA placed fourth.

Brillhart will represent Kansas at the 2018 National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Creed Public Speaking award is sponsored by the family of Robert and Melva Armbruster.
