National Junior Angus Association
The National Junior Angus Association Board of Directors offers leadership development beyond the boundaries of local or state groups. During their two-year terms they develop and carry out programs and events to serve junior members and the Angus breed across the nation. The first NJAA Board of Directors was elected in Wichita, Kansas at the 1980 National Junior Angus Show.
LEAD Conference
Each year the NJAA holds leadership conferences for its junior members. This conference offers team building, leadership and character development as well as fostering new and old friendships between members. The LEAD conference offers a jam-packed schedule of educational tours and learning opportunities about the industry they are growing in. At this conference, juniors get to see different parts of the country and experience agriculture in ways they may never have seen before.
