For the Chapter of the Year Award, Righetti FFA had over 55 State FFA Degrees, 2 state proficiency finalists, 2 state champion Career Development Event teams, 2 South Coast FFA Region officers and involvement from over 800 members. This is the first time in school history where the FFA chapter has received this award out of all chapters in the Santa Barbara Section, which ranges from Santa Ynez to Arroyo Grande.
Samantha McDonald, who attended the conference for the first time, mentions "This year was my first ever year attending COLC. It was such a cool event that I hope to experience it again. The people there were amazing. "
Every year, the South Coast FFA Region, which is located from Los Angeles to San Jose, puts on this leadership conference.
