This last week Brooke Mueller attended the Washington Leadership Conference (WLC) at Washington D.C.

This conference inspires FFA members to become changemakers in their communities. Each day of the conference focuses on a different principle taught through the context of our nation’s capital. These principles include exploration, encouragement, advocacy and service. By the end of the week, members leave with a Living to Serve Plan they can implement in their communities.

She had a wonderful time and experience along with representing Brodhead FFA! She highly recommends other members in the future to attend this conference!
