What is the purpose of the AFLC?

The purpose of these conferences is to help Aggie students put their lives on a rock solid foundation. The conferences are intended to help students establish their own value system that will allow them to positively face any life situation. The conferences encourage delegates to set high standards for themselves so that they will be the master of their own destinies. Delegates are exposed to people and businesses that live and operate with strong moral, ethical, and community values. They experience firsthand the lives of those who have found the joy of giving and serving others. Walt Disney once said “when your values are clear, decision making is much easier.” For some, the conferences will be the beginning of a lifelong quest for joyful living. The conferences are not intended to offer a “quick fix” or a road map for problem-free living.

Many of the outcomes of the conferences will never be fully known to the Abbott family, the chairpersons and program directors, or the MSC staff. It may take years for the highly motivated student delegates and leaders to become fully aware of the value of their experiences during the conferences. There already is much evidence that many lives have been enriched and impacted by a multitude of people that have crossed paths with each other and with the Abbott family. The conferences seek to challenge delegates to develop a holistic set of values that influence every aspect of their lives.
