Alumni and Supporters Affiliate Information
With the increased diversity of agricultural education programs, it is becoming more difficult for advisors/teachers to keep up with all the additional activities. Former FFA members and interested adults are a natural resource of help and support. An FFA Alumni and Supporters Affiliate can unify the local community to support agricultural education and FFA activities and provide valuable assistance to agriculture advisors.
