Three members from the Atlantic FFA attended the FFA Leadership Conference’s 212/360 Conference at the FFA Enrichment Center on Jan. 10, 2015.

Freshman Emily Saeugling attended the 212 Conference, which is for freshmen and sophomore FFA members. The conference focused on six topics: passions, virtues, decision making, character, setting goals, and action. It was held by the Iowa FFA State Officer Team. Saeugling said, “I really enjoyed it and I would recommend it to others.”

Junior Haley Carlson and senior Clint Hansen attended the 360 Conference. This conference was for junior and senior FFA members to help create a vision for their future and the future of their FFA chapter. During this conference, members got to interact with others from around Iowa and learn about what they think needs improvement in chapters and what success stories they have. The 360 Conference was facilitated by Josh Earll and Rachel Kagay. Each conference had a total of six sessions, along with lunch.

Advisor Eric Miller always has an assignment for each FFA event, and it is to make a new friend each day of the event. All three members walked out with many friends and great ideas for the future of the Atlantic FFA.
