Pocola, Okla. - The Choctaw Nation Youth Advisory Board visited the sophomore class of the Choctaw U Leadership Series during their short course on Sept. 12 in Pocola.
The YAB group, led by Chapter Chair Kelsey Janway of Heavener, conducted a meeting by following Robert’s Rules of Order to display how to efficiently run a meeting.
“Presenting in front of Choctaw U for my chapter and me was such a great experience for us. It showed us that hard work does pay off and that we are learning so much at such a young age and that we can do something with it. I can’t wait to see what lies in store for the Youth Advisory Board in the future,” Janway said.
The Choctaw U class was very impressed with the YAB members during the short course. Kelly S. Johnson, Choctaw U instructor, thanked the group for their contribution to the class.
“I would personally like to thank Shonnie Hall and the LeFlore County YAB members for the excellent job they did of modeling the proper productive meeting techniques to the sophomore class of Choctaw University,” Johnson said.
