WASHINGTON, D.C. - Emily Schwarzenberger, Jacob Samson and Cameron Wahl of the Monroe FFA Chapter, attended the 2010 Washington Leadership Conference (WLC) June 8-12 in the nation's capital. The conference is an activity of the National FFA Organization, sponsored by Monsanto as a special project of the National FFA Foundation.
The week-long program helps FFA members improve their leadership skills and prepare for leadership roles in their chapters, communities and their future careers. They attended sessions on developing authentic leadership, serving their communities and participating in civic engagement. They also participate in service learning events.
The National FFA Organization coordinates WLC, with the sponsorship of Monsanto, which attracts participants from across the country.
More than 2,000 FFA members will attend one of the conference's seven week-long sessions.
Students also increase their understanding of the nation's heritage with visits to Arlington National Cemetery, the Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt memorials and other historic sites in Washington. They also visit the office of their local United States representative or senator.
