MANITOWOC - Grant Schoenenberger, Logan Webb, Ethan Pfeuti and Juan Mora of the Albany FFA Chapter attended the National FFA Organization's 212º Conference at the Holiday Inn in Manitowoc on March 23 and 24.
More than 180 FFA members and advisors from around the state participated in this national personal development conference held bi-annually in Wisconsin.
The 212 Degree Conference is a two-day personal development seminar designed for high school freshmen and sophomores involved in the FFA organization; 212 degrees, the temperature at which water boils, focuses on taking students to the boiling point of leadership. Themes for this conference included virtues, growth and collaboration.
"These conferences bring out the very best in students and advisors who participate," said Cheryl Zimmerman, state FFA executive director. "It really helps the students focus on who they are and what they can become."
Conference staff members are college students who are former state or national FFA officers. Many staff members have also worked as counselors for the Washington Leadership Conference, FFA's national leadership seminar held in Washington, D.C. each summer.
