****AGAIN this YEAR, Illinois FFA will have a 97th Annual Illinois FFA State Convention Quiz for Advisors to take to ensure you feel fully prepared for the State Convention. If you get 100% on the quiz, come find me, I will have a small prize for you, AND of course, don’t forget to brag to all of your friends, family and fellow Ag Teachers about being a State Convention Expert.  

One final reminder and message from the 2024 - 2025 Illinois State Officer Team, they just wanted to make sure that I touched base with all of you and asked that you remind your students to be mindful of the following things prior to attending the 97th Annual Illinois FFA State Convention: 

• Be respectful of everyone, not only FFA members attending the conference, but also the facilitators, our hosts, and anyone we encounter.  

• Be Kind & Empathetic to your fellow FFA members, we never know what someone else is experiencing or where they are coming from with their perspectives. 

• Remind them that FFA events are designed to bring us Together in leadership.  Divisive or disrespectful actions only work to impede our process as growing leaders. 

• Remind them that State Convention is designed for them to learn about building connections, their roots, opportunities in FFA, goal setting, defining success, and their brand of leadership.  Encourage them to be ready for that development, discoveries, and much more.  

• Remind them to Reflect, as they travel back home to your home chapters, ask them to reflect on what they experienced and how they continue to grow as leaders in shared experiences.  

Thank you for taking a moment to set the tone with your leaders for the 97th Annual Illinois FFA State Convention.  We are so thankful to all of you for your leadership and passion as agriculture teachers.  

What questions or concerns can I answer for you?  Happy to assist in any way that we can or address any concerns you may have in advance.  We look forward to seeing you then.  Travel safely!

Have a GRAND day!
