participated

in

many

activities

from

challenges

to

rope-climbing and pedal-trac-

all in

some way related to career opportunities. Many FFA members carried bags

full

Thanks to the hard work of the courtesy corps, the 74th National FFA Convention ran incredibly smoothly, as the corps helped with tasks including security and crowd

control.

"I feel like ^I

am behind-the-scenes and special," said Diana Barszcz of the Lyman Hall FFA Chapter

ⁱⁿ

Connecticut.

"I

also love meeting

^all

the different people."

In order

to

serve as courtesy corps, students had

to fill

out an application and specify the times they were

avail-

able

to

work. The FFA

staff

gives a big thanks

to

these students who make convention such a huge success.

Their behind-the-scenes help makes a

real

difference!

Delegates from each

state

arrived

at

the convention

site

early to prepare committee

reports. They discussed several important issues that affect the FFA. The Agricultural Education Trends committee discussed the current agriculture teacher shortage. They proposed providing additional scholarships for students pursuing an agricultural educa- tion degree.

The Communications and Public Relations Committee provided suggestions on the FFA

brand and how

^it

could be communicated more consistently to enhance the image of the National FFA Organization to members,

advisors, sponsors and the general public.

The committee also discussed the 75th Anniversary National FFA Convention.

Delegates suggested national

staff

create a promotional video to show

at state

conven-

tions,

highlighting past conventions and previewing the anniversary celebration.

The Marketing and Merchandising

Committee Report recommended reducing prices on apparel to increase sales and pro- mote the FFA. They also suggested several

new ^{products including}

^hats,

^{clothing items} and photo albums.

FFA ^{has a} bright future due largely to the hard work and dedication of delegates,

all

of

whom envision an organization that

strives

to

meet the expectations of the 2

1st

Century.
