HELLO MONTANA FFA! WELCOME, ONE AND ALL TO THE 88 TH ANNUAL MONTANA FFA STATE CONVENTION! We are beyond excited to welcome over 2,000 of Montana’s finest FFA members, guests, advisors, parents, sponsors, supporters, and alumni to Billings. The next three days will be filled with great competition, unforgettable memories, and Montana’s best and brightest. Over the course of the last year we have witnessed the hard work and determination of FFA members from all parts of our state. State Convention offers the perfect stage to recognize those among us who have dedicated their time and actions in order to succeed.

Throughout this week, make the most out of every opportunity that Convention holds, and soak it all in. Take the time to enjoy the workshops, tours, and especially the trade show! We hope that this convention will help all of you begin to understand how to truly Rise Beyond. Montana FFA, we are so thankful for the past 378 days with all of you and can’t wait to see how each and every one of you continue to Rise Beyond!
