FFA FIRE Conference is the first major conference new FFA members can attend. Today a couple of our FFA members took a step outside of their comfort zone and attended the conference. The goal of the conference was to teach our young members through games and workshops about leadership qualities and how to grow those qualities, developing goals for their FFA journey, how to dress for success in the FFA jacket, exploring careers and opportunities in agriculture, and learning more about potential supervised agricultural experiences. Our young members had a great time meeting the state officers and making new FFA friends from other chapters!
