NEBRASKA FFA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
FFA Intensified My Passion for Ag
I feel privileged and honored to serve as the 20172018 Nebraska FFA President. I grew up with a strong passion for agriculture, which intensified when I joined FFA. Through my participation in contests, activities, and community service projects, I discovered I wanted to be a state officer so that I could serve fellow students across Nebraska to intensify their passions.
In just three short months, I have been amazed and energized by the talents of student leaders throughout Nebraska. Your state officer team has been fortunate to attend several training workshops to help us prepare and taught us how to apply our skills to our year of service. We immediately used what we learned to plan the 2017 COLT conference, attended by nearly 1,000 FFA members. My biggest takeaway from that experience was this: the depth of talent in Nebraska is awesome. We also met and connected with fellow Nebraska FFA members at the NPower conference in late July. These experiences simply wouldn’t be possible without the support of donors and sponsors. You play a huge role in helping the future leaders of agriculture grow and develop their own passions for agriculture in our state. I speak on behalf of all Nebraska FFA members when I say, thank you.
We invite you to join us this year via our social media feeds to see how your support helps grow leaders, build communities and strengthen agriculture. @NebraskaFFA
Best Regards,
