FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth

and career success through agricultural education.

Agricultural Education prepares students for successful careers and a lifetime of informed choices in the global agriculture,

food, fiber and natural resources systems.

The National FFA Organization is a resource and support organization that does not select, control or supervise state association, local chapter or individual member activities except as

expressly provided for in the National FFA Organization Constitution and Bylaws.

The National FFA Organization affirms its belief in the value of all human beings and seeks diversity in its membership, leadership

and staff as an equal opportunity employer.

3 Dear National FFA

Foundation Supporters,

As student activity in FFA reaches a new 23-year high, it is apparent that FFA’s rele- vance in the lives of young people is as sig- nificant and valued today as it has been during any point in our history. It is also evident that individuals and companies rec- ognize this indisputable positive force in the lives of young Americans. Your selfless generosity allowed the National FFA Foundation to garner a record $9,300,000 in support of the best youth organization in America. A simple thank-you falls far short of the genuine appreci- ation your Sponsors’ Board wishes to share with you.

I would like to personally thank each member of the 2004 Sponsors Board and our devoted Foundation Staff. I have never had the opportunity work with an organization that demonstrates higher personal values and professional competence than that of our Foundation team. It has been an honor and a privilege to work under the leadership of men like Dr. Larry Case, Doug Loudenslager and Kent Schescke. I would also like to express my deepest respect of the professional Ag Educators, community vol- unteers and parents who create a high impact learning environ- ment for our young people on a daily basis.

America has never produced a more hope-filled generation of young people than the bright, energetic and thoughtful generation of today. FFA’s legacy of excellence attracts the best of the best of this generation. No one who works with FFA members underesti- mates the fact that these young people’s energy, creativity, high expectations and dedication to excellence keeps us all young at heart. Today’s FFA members benefit from a dynamic and effective 77-year legacy. However, it is tomorrow’s FFA members who will benefit from the seeds of excellence that today’s FFA is currently sowing in the fabric of their organization. An organization built around the motto of “Learn, Lead, Succeed” will never diminish in value in the eyes of American youth, American parents or

American communities.

Once again, thank you for joining your National FFA Sponsors’

Board in supporting FFA. The Blue and Gold is our nation’s stan- dard of excellence in learning, leadership and stewardship.

My most sincere regards, John Rakestraw
