Preparing for National FFA Week

INDIANAPOLIS — National FFA Week will be held Feb. 22-29 this year, and FFA members are busy preparing for the festivities.

Nathan Fairchild, the 2019-2020 Indiana FFA state southern region vice president, said that one of the things he and his fellow teammates are most looking forward to during FFA Week is the Give FFA Day on Tuesday, Feb. 25.

“It’s like an online pep rally that focuses on the spirit of giving in FFA,” he said.

Fairchild said that when individuals make an investment in the FFA organization, they are making a long-term impact on the FFA.

Fairchild said the officers will be promoting the Give FFA Day quite a bit and also will be doing a lot of interacting on social media during National FFA Week, including a social media takeover, where a different state officer runs the various social media accounts each day of the week.

Besides focusing on social media, Indiana FFA state officers also will be traveling the state interacting with other FFA members.

“I’m headed across the state to districts 10 and 11 to visit chapters across the area,” said Noah Berning who is the 2019-2020 Indiana FFA state treasurer.

Berning said that he will be attending dozens of FFA chapter breakfasts, luncheons and petting zoos.

“National FFA Week is a really good way to celebrate all the hard work FFA members have done all year,” he said.
