State Leadership Conference
Every year the Iowa FFA Association host an annual leadership conference for Iowa FFA Members. At the conference, FFA members from across the state of Iowa get to mingle with each other, listen to keynote speakers, get recognized for accomplishments, have fellowship with teammates, say good-bye to the current state officers and welcome the newly elected team. The Iowa FFA Leadership Conference never has a dull moment.
Ignite, Amplify & Transform Conference
Muliple members attended the Ignite, Amplify and Transform (IAT) Leadership Conference in November and December 2022. Ignite is for 7th graders through 9th graders. Amplify is for 10th graders & 11th graders, while Transform is designed for 12th graders. During these conferences members focus on communication, team working skills and personal growth. Members that attended enjoyed this conference and would go back again if given the opportunity.
Iowa State Fair Projects
The East Buchanan chapter has a lot of individual projects that we participate in at the state fair based on student interest. This may be projects involved in mechanics, livestock and crop or garden based. We also help with the usher and free stage program available to FFA members.
