Jordan Johns, of Pontiac, recently completed the 2015 Illinois Farm Bureau & Affiliates Premier 20 Leadership Conference, in Bloomington.

Johns joined other 4-H and FFA members taking part in leadership management, college to career success, working with the media and other programs. The group also volunteered at the Midwest Food Bank while attending.

Johns was also invited to participate in the conference through participation in the FFA Section President Award Program, which recognizes those presidents on their leadership and professionalism during their term as section FFA president.

Both the award and the conference are sponsored by the Illinois Farm Bureau, GROWMARK, Inc., COUNTRY Financial, Prairie Farms Dairy, and the IAA Credit Union.
