National Recognition for Idaho FFA Members

The 94th National FFA Convention and Expo is only nine days away! We hope those who are planning to attend travel safely and take advantage of all the opportunities in Indianapolis. Best of luck to Katy Doumit from the Troy FFA chapter who is traveling to Indianapolis to represent Idaho as the 2021 National Officer Candidate. Idaho is sending two talented members, Josh Nelson and Isaiah Raasch, both of the Troy FFA chapter, to sing in the National FFA Corus!

Congratulations to the teams and individuals who are advancing to compete in person at National Convention. Your hard work and time commitment to compete at the national level does not go unnoticed, and Idaho FFA is proud to send you to represent our association. Fourteen chapters and numerous members are representing Idaho in Career Development Events, Leadership Development Events, Agriscience Fair, and Proficiency Awards at the 94th National Convention and Expo – chapters and individuals are listed below. Once again congratulations to the members and chapters on their outstanding accomplishments. GOOD LUCK!!
