Tri-Village MVCTC FFA Members get National Recognition
This year there were twelve members from Tri-Village in attendance for the four day trip, October 28-31. These members were then able to take the information learned and bring it back to share with the rest of the FFA chapter. Because of hard work and dedication 2 members of the Tri-Village MVCTC FFA were recognized on stage for their accomplishments. The Tri-Village-MVCTC FFA was represented by Gabe Watern as he was a National Proficiency Finalist in the area of Outdoor Recreation. During convention Gabe was interviewed and was recognized on stage for his accomplishments. The Tri-Village-MVCTC FFA was also represented at convention by Dylen Price. Dylen received the American FFA Degree, which is the highest honor that can be bestowed on a member and is earned by less than 1% of FFA members.
The convention was packed with loads of highlight for the Tri-Village-MVCTC FFA members. Some of the highlights for the students include hearing retiring addresses from National Officers who shared how the FFA and Agricultural Education made a huge positive influence in their lives. Members also heard from nationally renowned motivational speaker Rick Rigsby. Mr. Rigsby was able encourage and empower the students to transform their lives by making an impact. In between a busy convention schedule, students were able attend the Annual FFA National Career Show and were also able to learn more about agriculture with tours of Consolidated Grain and Barge, Taylor Cattle Tours, and the Louisville Science Center. The knowledge and experiences gained by members in attendance for the National Convention was extraordinary. These members saw agriculture from a national perspective and met FFA members from every corner of the country.
