The Bonners Ferry FFA Chapter has been
recognized as a Two Star Chapter in the 2017
National Chapter Award Program from the National
FFA Organization.
The program recognizes outstanding FFA chapters
from throughout the country that actively
implement the mission and strategies of the
organization.
These chapters improve chapter operations using
the National Quality FFA Chapter Standards and a
program of activities that emphasizes growing
leaders, building communities and strengthening
agriculture.
Chapters are rewarded for providing educational
experiences for the entire membership.
Chapters that received star ratings during
judging July 23-28 were recognized at the 2017
National FFA Convention & Expo October 25-28 in
Indianapolis.
All Star FFA chapters receive honors made
possible by corporate sponsor John Deere.
“Feeding some 9 billion people by mid-century
brings with it unprecedented challenges for
today’s farmers,” said Amy Allen, manager,
national corporate contributions for John Deere.
“The skills and experiences learned though the
National Chapter Award Program will help meet
the critical needs.”
The National FFA Organization provides
leadership, personal growth and career success
training through agricultural education to
649,355 student members who belong to one of
7,859 local FFA chapters throughout the U.S.,
Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The
organization is also supported by 225,891 alumni
members in 1,934 alumni chapters throughout the
U.S. |
