Mississinawa Valley-MVCTC FFA Members Attend Ohio Legislative Leadership Conference
On September 27, 2023, Mississinawa Valley-MVCTC FFA Chapter members attended the Ohio Legislative Leadership Conference. The conference was held at the Ohio Statehouse. The four members who attended were Aldon Edger, Daniel Hartzell, Dylan Wehrkamp, and Diana Rodriguez.
They learned ways to promote agricultural education at the conference, were informed about important issues, and got ready to speak with legislators. They heard Ohio’s 82nd District Representative Roy Klopfenstein and Ohio FFA President Luke Jennings talk about leadership. The students also did a simulation of passing or denying bills. Some topics debated included whether oil drilling in state parks should be legal, whether farmers should consent to solar panels near their land, and whether online education should be widely offered or selectively offered to children, as decided by the school superintendent. They then toured the Statehouse Museum and a map of the counties set in marble. After the workshop, they attend a luncheon with Ohio legislators.
This was an excellent opportunity for the members who attended!
