2020 MONTANA FFA STATE CONVENTION TO BE HELD IN THE ELECTRIC CITY

BOZEMAN, MONTANA | February 18, 2020 – The 90th Annual Montana FFA State Convention is an event not to miss! Throughout the past year, Montana FFA members have been committed students in the classroom, developed their career skills through work-based learning in their Supervised Agricultural Experiences, and worked diligently to serve their communities.

The State Convention is fast approaching where we will celebrate our students' successes in their communities from Plentywood to Lima, Saint Regis to Ekalaka, and everywhere in between. This year's Montana FFA State Convention is being held March 25-28 in at the Montana ExpoPark (State Fairgrounds) in Great Falls.

Montana FFA State President, Caroline Roeder from Choteau, expresses the significance of this event: "State Convention is a year-end finale that celebrates the incredible successes, growth, and learning of Montana FFA members. The state officer team looks forward to seeing how all have become Stationed by Success."

There will be approximately 1,200 middle and high school FFA members in attendance at the State FFA Convention along with 100 teachers and another 600 parents, guests, alumni, and supporters. For those interested in being a part of our students' competitive experience at the State FFA Convention, there are multiple volunteer opportunities. Some events included at State Convention are public speaking, mechanics, sales, and agriscience fair. On March 24-25, students will also be participating in additional competitions during the Career Development Event Days sponsored by Montana Farmers Union.

Organizations and businesses can also engage with Montana FFA members by participating in the Career & Trade Show on March 26-27 in the Four Seasons Arena! Information and registration on volunteering and exhibiting during the Montana FFA Convention can be found on our website at http://www.MontanaFFA.org.

Each day of State Convention is concluded with an exciting General Session. Awards will be announced for students' competitive events, community service achievements, and career progress in their Supervised Agricultural Experiences. The Keynote Speaker and the 2019-2020 Montana FFA State Officers' retiring addresses are sure to be a highlight!
