INDIANAPOLIS (August 9, 2024/National FFA Organization) – The Beaverhead FFA chapter of Dillon, Montana, has once again been recognized as one of the top FFA chapters in the nation for 2024 through the National Chapter Award Program from the National FFA Organization.
The program recognizes outstanding FFA chapters from throughout the country that actively implement the mission and strategies of the organization. These chapters improve chapter operations using the National Quality FFA Chapter Standards and a Program of Activities that emphasizes growing leaders, building communities, and strengthening agriculture. Chapters are rewarded for providing educational experiences that benefit the entire membership, their community, and the agricultural industry.
Only the top ten percent of chapters from each state may apply to be ranked nationally, where they will receive a rating of one, two, or three stars. The Beaverhead FFA has received the highest three-star national rating for the last six years in a row, and will be recognized on stage at the 97th National FFA Convention & Expo, October 23-26, 2024.
Additionally, the Beaverhead FFA was selected as one of ten national finalists in the category of Strengthening Agriculture to recognize the 2023 collaboration between Beaverhead FFA and the American Exchange Project (AEP). Beaverhead FFA members will present to a panel of judges later this fall to potentially advance to the top 3 chapters in this category.
This is the second consecutive year that the Beaverhead FFA chapter has been selected as a National Chapter Award Area Finalist. Full award results will be announced this fall at the 97th National FFA Convention & Expo, October 23-26, 2024 in Indianapolis, IN.
All-star-rated FFA chapters receive honors made possible by corporate sponsor John Deere and New Holland.
“New Holland is proud to recognize and celebrate the exemplary FFA chapters that are part of the National Chapter Award
Program,” said Mark Lowery, Director of Network Development at New Holland. “They are successfully enriching their communities and preparing FFA members to be the future leaders of our company and industry, which is important work that we are honored to support.”
The National FFA Organization is a school-based national youth leadership development organization of more than 1,027,200 student members as part of 9,235 local FFA chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
