2025 NC FFA Alumni Conference!
Greetings Fellow FFA Supporter!
I would like to personally invite you and the leaders of your FFA Alumni Chapter to join us at the 2025 NC FFA Alumni Conference! This year our theme is Forever Blue and we are excited to offer some fun and exciting opportunities over the weekend to learn and network with like-minded folks across the state! This meeting is for all current FFA Alumni members, Collegiate FFA Alumni members, as well as individuals interested in starting an alumni chapter.
This year we will have two separate tracks: New and Established. Workshops in the New track are designed for those who are interested in starting an alumni chapter or those who have just chartered an alumni chapter. Established workshops are designed for those who have an existing FFA Alumni Chapter and want to grow and stay relevant in our ever-changing world. Some examples of topics we will cover include membership retention, fundraising, grant opportunities, utilizing social media, and more! Our workshops will be presented by the NC FFA Alumni Council and a National FFA Alumni staff member.
Not only is this conference in one of the most beautiful and memorable places, the NC FFA Camp at White Lake, but we are also doing a tour of a nearby local vineyard, Lu Mil! Included in this tour is an alcohol-free wine tasting, a full meal, and an amazing networking opportunity on Friday evening! This event is limited to 35 people and the opportunity to purchase tasting and/or products from their gift shop is also available.
Another special event taking place this year will be the first NC FFA Alumni Collegiate Quiz Bowl Competition! We are excited to see these collegiate students go head-to-head and if time and interest allows, we will also create additional Alumni teams to compete for the bragging rights of knowing the most FFA and agriculture knowledge on Saturday evening!
Please use this link to register for the event. The first 50 attendees to register will get to experience this for FREE! This includes room and board while at the NC FFA Center, the tour of Lu Mil Vineyard with alcohol-free wine tasting, the meal on Friday evening, and all additional meals during the conference. Registration closes at 5:00 pm on April 10, 2025.
We appreciate support from the National FFA Alumni Legacy Grant and AgCarolina Farm Credit to help make this conference possible.
Please feel free to reach out to me or Kay Becton with any questions. We have also created a flyer that you can use to help spread the word about this conference. I look forward to seeing you and your fellow alumni members in April at White Lake!
