CONVENTION TIP of the DAY - Wednesday, May 6, 2026 - FFA NURSE & FFA COUNSELOR AND FAMILY COMFORT ROOM: B3
FFA NURSE & FFA COUNSELOR - VIP Room
NURSE: We have on staff the week of the convention, located in the VIP/Headquarters room on the lower level of the Bank of Springfield Center, our very own FFA Nurse and FFA Counselor. Both are there to serve Illinois FFA members and guests in their time of need. If a situation arises where you need first aid or medical attention, Desiree Barrett is here to help.
Please complete this form for FFA Advisors, Students, and Guests attending the Illinois FFA State Convention who have a medical condition or allergy that our nurse should know about.
*** Medical Privacy Statement: It is the policy of Illinois Association FFA to keep any medical information it may have on the participants confidential. However, there may be time in which such medical information will be needed and may need to be shared with others. Examples of sharing might include: providing information to medical personnel in the event of an emergency which includes staff, nurse, and/or counselor who are responsible for the health and safety of participants at convention.
COUNSELORS: If any of your FFA members have a situation where they are feeling excluded, targeted or unwelcome in any way, please know our goal is to always make every FFA member feel welcome, accepted and valued. That's why Laura Roehm and Rachel Brown are here to help serve FFA members. If you are in need of a counselor or someone to help create a safe space to help with concerns, please see our Counselor in the VIP/Headquarters room on the lower level of the Bank of Springfield Center. We hope you, your members and all guests will not need either of these services, but in case you do, please know we are here to serve.
FAMILY COMFORT ROOM: B3
The Illinois FFA Convention will once again this year provide a Family Comfort Room in the lower level of the convention hall in ROOM B3. The Family Comfort Room is designed for all of our agriculture teachers who choose to bring their children and all of our families that attend the convention as well. The Family Comfort Room is supported by the Illinois Foundation FFA. They say it takes a village to raise a child, join us as we raise our families together, experiencing FFA from the youngest of ages.
