National Trail-MVCTC FFA Chapter Attended the 212° and 360° Leadership Conferences

01/23/2015

­­­Students from FFA chapters across Ohio attended the 212o and 360° Leadership Conferences. These conferences are an activity of the National FFA Organization made possible by title sponsor Syngenta and with additional support from Crop Production Services as a special project of the National FFA Foundation. Alison Grimes, Bryant Stonecash, Chelsea Allen, Becky Allen, Emilie Satterfield, Danielle Thomas, Suzanne Kimball, Grant Killen, Clayton Cruze, Graham Jones, Issac Luce, Erika Gallaher, Andrew Willet, Kelsey Matheny, and Kian Caldwell, all members of the National Trail-MVCTC FFA Chapter attended the event Saturday January 17, 2015.

 

212° - the temperature at which water boils – focuses 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. The two-day 212o Leadership Conference is focused on student development and helps FFA members become aware of their passions and virtues. FFA members attended sessions on discovering their passions, making positive decisions, setting SMART goals and taking steps towards self-improvement.

 

360° takes students full circle in terms of chapter leadership. The two-day 360° conference is focused on the importance of vision and how to become a visionary leader. Students spent their time in sessions understanding the importance of vision, conducting a chapter needs assessment, crafting a vision plan for their local FFA chapter and developing a strategy to implement their vision.

 

This school year, more than 7,500 students across the nation will participate in a 212o or 360o Leadership Conference.

The National FFA Organization provides leadership, personal growth and career success training through agricultural education to 610,240 student members who belong to one of 7,665 local FFA chapters throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
