Update: Monday 5/4

Missouri Ag Ed Family:

Thank you for your work to keep members engaged and informed.  While this spring has been less than ideal – I am proud of our Ag Ed family and how they have come together to work through the circumstances we have been handed.  I see many of you on social media working to keep member engaged. Thank  you!!

Please be watching as the officers have a full week of workshop planned for members.  Please share with your member to be watching on social media for sign up opportunities to engage with the officers through virtual workshops this week.

See the latest update, linked below.  Please review and let us know what questions you have.

Take care and have a great week

Keith

FFA Event Next Steps
The State FFA Leadership Team is currently developing contingency plans based on specific Governor’s directives, CDC recommendations, DHSS recommendations, host site restrictions and student travel restrictions.   Evaluating alternative platforms for FFA events in order to keep Missouri students engaged in FFA over the next couple of months is a primary goal. On some of our upcoming events the factors used to make a decision on whether to postpone, redesign or cancel have become clearer since the last update.  In the update you will see that FFA Camp, AOI, HYMAX, PSA and HYPE have significant updates.

Just as soon as additional details of future FFA events are available we will share that information with everyone. As we look ahead we realize that using alternative methods of delivering FFA to our members will have its challenges. We also know it’s important to continue to provide as many opportunities as we can for our students.  When planning events our number one priority will always be the safety and best interest of our students and stakeholders.

Please see our April 15, 2020 FFA Update to our programming over the next few months.
