National Officer Q&A
National Officer Q&A with secretary Becky Sullivan
March 2008
Serving as the 2007-08 national FFA secretary is a great honor for Kansas native Becky Sullivan. She credits her older sister, Michelle, for inspiring her to join FFA and also looks forward to seeing her brother Ronnie join the organization next year. Learn more about your national secretary, including her secret talents and favorite quote!
Q What inspired you to raise rabbits for your supervised agricultural experience program (SAE), and how did you grow your business?
A My rabbit SAE began as a 4-H project and later transformed into an extensive breeding, showing and selling operation. I grew up on a small hobby farm, so rabbits were a good fit for me since they are manageable with limited space. At times, I had nearly 200 rabbits and traveled nearly every weekend to shows all across the United States. The rabbits were my first introduction to leadership roles, public speaking and even genetics. What started as a small project has become a life-changing line of experiences. Today, I have about 70 animals and focus more on teaching at clinics and judging shows – which I love more than anything!
Q In this issue, we feature some FFA members with truly unique talents. What “secret” talent or hobby do you have that you can share?
A In high school, I played the trombone. I also enjoy doing acrylic painting and swing dancing!
Q What is your favorite icebreaker for FFA meetings and events?
A “Zip, Zap, Boing, Whoosh!” It’s a fun game I learned at the Nebraska FFA convention last year. It involves a group of people in a circle who make certain motions and noises as they pass the “Zip, Zap, Boing or Whoosh” around, depending on the previous person’s action. It can be complicated to explain, but a blast once you get it! (Click here to download instructions for the game.)
Q Do you have a quote or saying you live by?
A “If you get a chance – take it! If it changes your life – let it! No one ever said it would be easy; they only promised it would be worth it.”
