Benjamin Logan FFA members Sarah Seeley and Abby Austin recently attended the 2016 Washington Leadership Conference.
More than 2,100 students were registered for the event, the second-largest student experience that the National FFA hosts each year. In workshops, seminars and small groups, students focused on identifying and developing their personal strengths and goals while undergoing comprehensive leadership training that will help them guide their local FFA chapters.
Students analyzed the needs of their home communities to develop community-service initiatives that will be implemented with the help of their FFA chapter upon returning home. During their time in D.C., FFA members experienced the history of the nation’s capital, and toured such landmarks as the Washington Monument, War Memorial, the National Mall, Arlington National Cemetery and the U.S. Capitol, among others.
