ANKENY, Iowa--FFA members across Iowa will be celebrating success when they gather for the 87th Iowa FFA
Leadership Conference on April 19-21 at Iowa State University's Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa. The Iowa FFA
State Leadership Conference is the 5th largest of its kind in the National FFA Organization.
"Go All Out", the theme for this year's convention, is geared toward supreme dedication to leadership, growth,
and success. It also seeks to challenge FFA members to think about how they can "Go All Out" in everything
that they do.
The annual conference will provide agricultural education students the opportunity to participate in Career
Development Event competitions, be recognized for accomplishments in events during the past year, become
inspired by motivational speakers, interact with college and business professionals, and develop leadership
skills. Chapter delegates and Iowa FFA Officers will also conduct the annual business session to make
decisions for the student-run Iowa FFA Association. Students will also be engaged in a service project with
Meals from the Heartland with a goal of packaging their one-millionth meal since beginning this partnership in
2012.
Several exciting guests will be present at the 2015 Iowa FFA Leadership Conference. These include keynote
speakers Dr. William Keim of Oregon State University, motivational speaker and Founder of The Character
Institute; and Kyle Scheele, a professional youth speaker. National FFA Southern Region Vice President
Stephen McBride will also address the conference.
The Iowa FFA State Leadership Conference is possible with support from the following partners of the Iowa
FFA Foundation: Iowa State University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Farm Credit Services of
America, Des Moines Area Community College, and Iowa Farm Bureau Federation
