ALBANY - Rhylie Gough and Whitney Clason of the Albany FFA Chapter attended the Wisconsin Association of FFA FIRE Conference Sept. 24 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Agricultural and Life Sciences Campus in Madison.
FIRE stands for "Foundations in Reaching Excellence." The conference helps young FFA members discover opportunities in the FFA organization and gain leadership skills. It's one of three conferences held around the state of Wisconsin for seventh-, eighth- and ninth-grade FFA members. More than 600 members attended these three conferences over three weekends statewide.
The State FFA FIRE Conference is designed to inform beginning FFA members about the FFA and motivate them to participate in its many activities. Students learned about communication skills, social skills, goal setting, FFA awards and programs and opportunities in agriculture.
The conference is conducted by the 2016-17 state FFA officer team with assistance from the UW-Madison Collegiate FFA. This conference was centered around the theme "Building Your Foundation - One Brick at a Time." All of the state officers encourage students who attend the FIRE Conference to set goals for their FFA involvement and meet people from around the state who can help them reach those goals.
