MONROE - Dylan Steiner and Mitch Grossen of the Monroe FFA chapter attended the Wisconsin Association of FFA Half-Time Leadership Conference Jan. 12 and 13 at the Holiday Inn and Convention Center in Stevens Point.
More than 350 FFA members, advisors and state FFA officers participated. The conference allows FFA chapter leaders from around the state to set goals and prepare for the second half of their year of service in their local chapters. FFA members attended workshops focused on leadership and personal development, membership and chapter development and opportunities in FFA. They learned about preparing for FFA events and getting involved in community service.
The conference is a 32-year tradition for the Wisconsin Association of FFA to bring top FFA leaders from across the state together to learn more about what they can do in their local FFA chapters. This year's leadership conference was designed and conducted by the 2017-18 Wisconsin State FFA officers. The theme of the conference was "Setting the Stage."
FFA advisors attended training sessions in the areas of youth livestock opportunities, reenergizing for the second half of the school year, FFA updates and other key topics in agricultural education. Teachers were involved in the Wisconsin Association of Agricultural Educators Board meetings and committee meetings.
The Wisconsin Association of FFA, comprised of 250 local chapters in high schools across the state, prepares more than 20,000 students for leadership and careers in the science, business and technology of agriculture. FFA activities and programs complement instruction in agriculture education by giving students practical experience in the application of agricultural skills and knowledge gained in classes. FFA's mission is to develop premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.
