The FFA Extemporaneous Public Speaking Career Development Event is designed to develop the ability of FFA members to express themselves on a given subject without having prepared or rehearsed its content in advance. After the selection of agricultural topics, participants have 30 minutes to prepare a four to six minute speech. After delivering the speech, participants are judged on content, organization of material, power of expression, voice, stage presence, general effect and response to questions by a panel of judges.
Clint, a senior, is the son of Fred and Peggy Carter of Warrenton. Rick Dubose and Jersey Johnson are the FFA advisors.
The FFA Extemporaneous Public Speaking Career Development Event is sponsored by Georgia Farm Bureau as a special project of the Georgia FFA Foundation.
