General Meeting at the National FFA Organization Headquarters

The September General Meeting of the Indianapolis Ambassadors will be held September 4th at Headquarters of the National FFA Organization. Come learn the FFA and opportunities to volunteer.

FFA is an intracurricular student organization for those interested in agriculture and leadership. It is one of the three components of agricultural education. The official name of the organization is the National FFA Organization. The letters “FFA” stand for Future Farmers of America.

Every year, Indianapolis is honored to host more than 70,000 high achievers and future leaders at the National FFA Convention & Expo. The National FFA Convention & Expo is an event that symbolizes the organization’s gold standards of excellence: premier leadership, personal growth, and career success. FFA members come together to share experiences, compete for awards and, most importantly, learn and lead through unique activities such as career success and leadership seminars, educational tours and interactive, motivational speeches.

The need for volunteers is immense. Past Indianapolis Ambassadors President Larry Grider said, “In all my interactions, they’re great kids. One of their *edicts is, when they leave a place, they leave it better than when they arrived. Lots of cleanup projects going on all around Indy while they’re here.”

After the general meeting, attendees are invited to join us for a bite at Luciana’s Mexican Restaurant at Trader’s Point. Indianapolis Ambassadors President Michele Feld says, “It is very close, has excellent food and ambiance, and is reasonably priced.”

All are welcome! RSVPs are encouraged at our Meetup Event or email Chris Blair at volunteeradmin@indyambassadors.org.
