What is the primary outcome developed by a quality POA?

• A. Leadership and planning skills
• B. Technical farming skills
• C. Marketing and budgeting
• D. Public speaking

Answer: (A)

The primary outcome developed by a quality POA is leadership and planning skills. The Program of Activities is the chapter’s yearly plan that guides what the group aims to do, who will lead each part, and how timelines and progress will be tracked. Working through this process gives members hands-on practice in organizing efforts, delegating tasks, setting goals, and coordinating resources, all of which build strong leadership and effective planning abilities. Other skills like public speaking or budgeting may improve as activities unfold, but they stem from leading and planning the work rather than being the main aim themselves.
