["Affiliation Program Information"]
["What is the Affiliation Program?"]
["The membership affiliation program is designed to easily mobilize volunteers to support local agricultural education programs and their FFA chapters. This program allows affiliates to provide membership, services and benefits to an unlimited number of volunteers/supporters for one fee while keeping the rest of their funds right at home for their local programs. This program will also assist the National FFA Alumni in their strategic goal of having an active alumni affiliate in every FFA chapter in the country and dramatically increasing the number of advocates and supporters with time, talent and resources at the local, state and national level."]
["What is the Fee Structure?"]
["• Yearly fee of $200 ($100 national fee/$100 state fee) per local affiliate for the LOCAL affiliate program providing basic support to all volunteers at the LOCAL affiliate. New lifetime members will still pay $160* per person.    *fee subject to change with approval from the National FFA Alumni Council and advance notice local affiliates\n• The $100 national fee will be waived if the local affiliate has at least 25 life members (as of the end of the preceding membership year). The state fee will still apply. Membership year for the National FFA Organization and FFA Alumni year is September through August.\n•   A minimum of 10 local affiliate members must be in place for the affiliate to be considered active."]
["Program Highlights"]
["\n•  Eliminate dues collection. One fee covers all members. Please note that affiliation on the local and state levels is designed to eliminate individual dues. As a part of this program, local and state annual dues should not be collected. Donations may be collected by the affiliate but should not be required for participation/inclusion.\n•  Save time. Save time in persuading individuals to join, collecting individual dues, writing receipts and handling money from members. This is a waste of many hours of valuable time that could be spent working to engage members.\n•  Alumni membership is for EVERYONE. This repositions alumni membership as an important benefit for our volunteers. Every volunteer is a member, providing the affiliate the option to engage all members in their programs, activities and communications.\n•  No money changes hands. Eliminates handling money several times by everyone involved in the process.\n•     Easy to budget. Allows ability to budget affiliation fee in advance for local programs and states.\n•  Missing individuals. No longer will you have to worry about missing an individual that has donated valuable time and energy toward the work of your affiliate. "]

Helps to solidify that previous student membership is not required.\n• COMMUNICATION TO ALL - Provides an option for those who want to offer their support both in volunteer hours and financial contributions to the local level and still have the ability to communicate on a national level.
