The Sacramento Leadership Experience is California FFA's capstone leadership conference for FFA members. 40 of the best graduating senior FFA members are selected annually to participate. Students step into the role of one of California's 40 Senators. Students are assigned a specific California district, and spend 4 days in Sacramento.
During their time in Sacramento students learn and participate in the following activities:

  1. How a bill becomes a law
  2. The importance of demographics to their specific region
  3. Discuss Senate Bill proposals
  4. Work in Committees to develop Senate Bills

registration fee because the California Association FFA is subsidizing this
conference, as it does with all components of the Integrated Leadership
Development Program.
 
Included in the registration fee are all conference materials, three nights
lodging (four to a room), transportation while at the conference, meals, and
participation awards for each student.
