The Luck FFA Chapter attended the National FFA Organization’s 212º and 360º Conferences at the Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin November 15-16, 2019. Over 500 FFA members and advisors from around the state of Wisconsin participated in this national personal development conference held bi-annually in Wisconsin. This conference is an activity of the National FFA Organization made possible by title sponsor Syngenta.
The 212º Conference is a two-day personal development seminar designed for high school freshman and sophomores involved in the FFA organization. 212° - the temperature at which water boils - will focus on taking students to the boiling point of leadership. At 211° water is extremely hot, but just one more degree gets us to the next level. These conferences focus on student development. Students will be challenged to push the limits. Themes for this conference include: Virtues and Growth.
The 360º Conference is a two-day personal development seminar designed for high school juniors and seniors involved in the FFA organization. 360° - takes students full circle in terms of chapter leadership. The 360° Conference is focused on the importance of influence and how to become an influential leader. Students spent their time in sessions understanding the importance of influence, conducting a chapter needs assessment, crafting an influence plan for their local FFA chapter and developing a strategy to make an influence.
More than 1,100 students gathered for the largest 212° and 360° conferences, hosted by Wisconsin FFA. National FFA staff led students through two days of experiences focused on personal growth and influencing others. Students left inspired to invest in their personal development and with a plan to create change in their chapters. This year, 19 states will host 212° and 360° conferences.
