Recently the Polk County FFA went to a West Region leadership conference in Enka, NC. The students who attended this conference were Autumn Miller, Kayla McIntire, Caley Modlin, Jamie Hrobak, Alex Stott, Jessica Pullara, Jennifer Page, Mark Lanning and Natalie Hilbig. This conference took place on Sept. 27, from 4 – 6 p.m.

The theme of this years conference was the Wild Wild West. During this conference the FFA students went to four different workshops, which included many group activities and individual activities to improve leadership skills.

Each workshop included competitions, problems and activities to be worked out using team work. Each year a select few students are taken to these conferences to learn a few things to bring back to the local chapter. These conferences are used to inspire, motivate and support the ambitions and growth of agricultural students.
