Constitutional Amendment Reminder and Clarification
IAVAT Constitutional Amendment - Replace Section with Region
Whereas, outside of Illinois agriculture education, the term Section 8 is an abbreviated term for a program of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Whereas, this terminology creates confusion for stakeholders outside of Illinois agricultural education when individuals or programs are identified as “part of Section 8”.
Therefore, be it resolved that the Illinois Association of Vocational Agriculture Teachers rename the current 25 sections to 25 regions.
Constitutional Amendment #1 exact wording updates
Illinois FFA will vote on this FFA Constitutional Amendment to Replace Section with Region
Due to the proposal of Constitutional Changes for IAVAT to change the name of Section to Regions, Illinois FFA will have one Constitutional Proposal as well, which will be up for a vote on Thursday, June 16, 2022, at the 94th Annual Illinois FFA State Convention business session.
Proposed Constitutional Change: Illinois Association FFA rename the current 25 sections to 25 regions.
Do you have any questions or concerns about this proposal? If so click here to let us know and hopefully we can answer your questions and address your concerns prior to FFA Convention and IAVAT Conference.
2. Cream of the Crop Photo Contest
SPRINGFIELD – Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs is calling on young Illinois photographers to submit photos for the 2022 Cream of the Crop Photo Contest, which encourages students to share their vision of agriculture in our state. The contest entry deadline is June 22.
“Illinois takes pride in its farming and agricultural diversity,” Frerichs said. “This contest provides students the opportunity to showcase the strength and beauty of our state’s rich agricultural landscape.” The treasurer’s office is accepting electronic submissions for the Cream of the Crop Photo Contest at www.CreamoftheCropContest.com. Top photographs will be chosen in three age-based categories: ages 8-10, 11-14 and 15-18. Each student may submit up to two photos by June 22, 2022. Now in its 10th year, the photo contest offers Illinois students an opportunity to showcase their most innovative or scenic pictures that depict their vision of agriculture in our state. Over the years, more than 500 students have participated, submitting nearly 1,000 photos. The Cream of the Crop Photo Contest is part of the Ag Invest program in the treasurer’s office. Winning photos will be featured in Ag Invest marketing material, as well as at the 2022 Illinois State Fair. Ag Invest, one of the nation’s largest agricultural linked deposit programs, helps hundreds of Illinois farmers and agriculture professionals. Through Ag Invest, the treasurer’s office partners with eligible financial institutions to offer farmers and ag businesses annual and long-term, low-interest loans that can be used for operating costs, equipment purchases, construction-related expenses, and livestock purchases.

For the past 19 years, the American Farm Bureau Federation’s Harvest for All campaign has been uniting the agriculture industry in the fight against food insecurity across the nation through fundraisers, food drives, and volunteer initiatives. The Illinois Farm Bureau Young Leaders could not make the significant impact they do without the help of Illinois FFA chapters. This award recognizes FFA chapters who have excelled in their Harvest for All efforts to meet the needs of those in their own communities.
