Leadership Events

Riverside FFA Members Attend Washington Leadership Conference

Two members of the Riverside FFA Chapter attended the National FFA Washington Leadership Conference (WLC) the week of July 22 – 27, 2008.  They joined hundreds of other members from across the nation to develop their leadership skills to the highest level.  Focusing on problem solving, relationship building, character, and serving others, WLC teaches FFA members how to have a positive impact on their school, chapter, community, state, and country.  While in Washington, DC, FFA members visited many historical sites such as the Vietnam Wall, Lincoln Memorial, Arlington Cemetery, and the White House.  The Riverside FFA members also had the opportunity to meet United States Senator Bob Corker.

Riverside FFA Chapter Attends FFA Leadership Training Camp

Seventeen members of the Riverside FFA Chapter attended the Tennessee FFA Leadership Training Camp (commonly known as Camp Clements) the week of June 16-20.  Members gained valuable leadership skills and participated in many chapter building activities.  Six members were recognized as either Best Sport or Best Athlete for their teams.  Of the seventeen members in attendance, thirteen members received an Outstanding Leadership Certificate (more than any other chapter).  The chapter was ranked second for Outstanding Chapter of the Week.
