Illini West FFA Alumni Chapter to Support Illini West FFA

 

7/1/2018 Carthage, IL – The Illini West FFA Alumni and Supporters is excited to announce that their FFA Alumni chapter has officially been charted at the national and state level to support the local agricultural education program and the FFA chapter at Illini West High School.

 

The National FFA Alumni Organization is encouraging locals all across the country to organize a local support system for agricultural education program by forming an official FFA Alumni chapter. The Alumni chapter is open to anyone who is interested in supporting and promoting agriculture, agricultural education and FFA. The alumni chapter will be made up of a wide variety of supports. You do not have to have been in FFA or have a child in the FFA program to be a member of the Illini West FFA Alumni and Supporters.  

 

FFA Alumni members are proud of FFA and want to help the local members acquire knowledge and experience from agricultural education and FFA activities.  “As alumni, it is our responsibility to serve as a source of relief for our agriculture educators as well as attract new volunteers and supporters to help our FFA programs,” said National FFA Alumni Executive Director Josh Rusk.

 

The Illini West FFA Alumni and Supporters Chapter is looking for more community members to become alumni members today. Contact Chris Talley at 319-850-3196 or email illiniwestffaalumni@gmail.com or visit iwffaalumni.org to find out more information on how to become an FFA alumni member.
