FFA Alumni
What is FFA Alumni?
The National FFA Alumni Association was created as an “affiliate of the Future Farmers of America.” As such its primary purpose was to “support and promote the FFA organization, FFA activities and agricultural education on local, state and national levels.” Subsequent revisions to the constitution and by-laws served to clarify that the National FFA Organization Board of Directors had legal authority for the management and operations of the FFA’s Alumni Association.
The National FFA Constitution Article V–Membership Section A: “Membership in the National FFA Organization shall be of four kinds: active, alumni, collegiate and honorary.” This language establishes Alumni as part of the National FFA Organization and not independent from the National FFA Organization.
Does American Falls have an alumni chapter?
The American Falls FFA program does include an alumni chapter. It was established in 2016 as a way to encourage graduates and community members to be involved with local FFA members and help accomplish the FFA mission.
The alumni chapter serves the program by providing leadership to students, hosting fundraising opportunities, and serving as judges and volunteers for FFA events.
The purpose of the American Falls FFA Alumni is:
To support and promote FFA activities and agricultural education on local, state, and national levels.
To provide a tie to and assist FFA and agricultural education personnel to involve former members, supporters and volunteers in worthy activities.
To promote greater knowledge of the agricultural industry and support education in agriculture.
To promote and maintain an appreciation of the American free enterprise system.
To promote the personal development of the FFA and FFA alumni members and volunteers.
The official charter signed in 2016 recognizing American Falls FFA Alumni as a recognized chapter by the National FFA Alumni Association.
