Washington Leadership Conference

Each year, FFA members from all over the United States travel to Washington, DC to attend the Washington Leadership Conference (WLC). During the five-day event, attendees learn how to become effective leaders by teaching them to know their purpose, value people, take action, and serve others. Students from Iowa have the opportunity to choose from two different options to experience this week-long event in June. For more information, see the Washington Leadership Conference website at the National FFA Organization.

Please note the following:

• Members registered through the Kansas group should NOT register with National FFA.
• Scholarship recipients from the Kansas FFA Alumni & Supporters or Kansas FFA Foundation traveling with the Kansas group will have their scholarship sent directly to the association applied to their registration. Recipients not traveling with the group will receive their scholarship once proof of participation is provided.
• Registered members will receive links to the online conduct/health forms in May from National FFA. These must be completed before boarding the plane for the trip.
