Hansen is a senior at Roland-Story High School and plans to attend Iowa State University, majoring
in fashion design. Her future goals include creating a formalwear collection to be modeled on
runway shows and in fashion films. “I love showing my work to others and having them critique me on things to know what to do for next time,” said Hansen, a member of the Luther Livewires 4-H Club. “Since I always wanted to get better for those projects, it made me want to strive for more in life on a personal level. “After wanting to get better and better at fashion design through 4-H, it has quickly turned into a career that I love. “ I chose Iowa State for having such an amazing program for my major and being only a short distance away from home.” “Iowa 4-H Founda-
tion scholarships acknowledge the hard work and dedication of young people who have used their 4-H skills and experiences to ‘make the best better’ for others,” said Emily Saveraid, executive director of the Iowa 4-H Foundation. “We also are thankful for the many scholarship donors who fund these important opportunities for Iowa 4-H’ers.” The children of Robert E. and Harriett J. Smith award this scholarship to an applicant who will be a freshman at ISU in the next academic year and is pursuing a major in an agriculture or family and consumer sciences related field.

The 2019 Washington Leadership Conference was held June 11-15. “It was great meeting legislators and engaging in dialogue with them.” stated Joseph Schmitz, Nevada FFA member and WLC participant. Educational sessions focused on citizenship, purpose, diversity, advocacy and how to serve others. Students experienced national monuments, Arlington Cemetery and the Smithsonian museums. Legislative visits included U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst and U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley. The cost of the trip was $1,280 per student.

important to provide funding for students to develop premiere leadership development, and the Washington, D.C., Conference is an excellent program,” said Kevin Cooper, Nevada FFA advisor. “Investing money in quality student leadership education is always a good investment”
added Cooper. The annual conference focuses on leadership development, personal growth and community service. More than 2,200 students - up to 340 a week-from throughout the U.S. who are FFA members will attend one of the conference’s seven weeklong sessions in June
and July. “Students come to the Washington Leadership Conference wanting to make a difference. They leave knowing they can– and will,” said Dwight Armstrong, CEO of the National FFA Organization. “I believe students are generally aware of global problems like hunger and
poverty but many are sheltered and disconnected from what’s happening in the world. During their time in Washington, FFA members experience real-world problems and take critical steps toward personal growth and developing leadership skills they’ll need to make a difference in people’s lives, starting in their own communities.” Created in 1969 and held annually in Washington, D.C., the conference helps students develop leadership skills, identify personal strengths, develop awareness of societal differences and human needs and strategize how they can help others through community service. The conclusion of each weekly session
of the Washington Leadership Conference is a civic engagement activity where participants apply what they have learned at the conference to a real, handson service activity In a partnership with Meals of Hope students will be packing approximately 60,000 highly palatable meals that will be delivered directly to the food insecure of Washington, D.C. Students will be packing both an oatmeal apple cinnamon mix, as well as fortified macaroni and cheese. The 2019 National FFA Organization’s Washington Leadership Conference is sponsored through the National FFA Foundation by title sponsors Monsanto, CSX, and Farm Credit. For more, visit www.FFA.org.
