87th Annual Montana FFA State Convention Career & Trade Show

Greetings from Montana FFA Foundation!

Over 2,000 FFA jackets will fill Expo Park in Great Falls, March 22-25, 2017.

These members will gather from across the state to participate in their annual Montana FFA State Convention. It is my great pleasure to extend our cordial invitation to you and your organization to join us for the Career and Tradeshow. Each year the convention brings together agricultural students from over 90 communities. The four-day event will feature outstanding speakers, daily workshops and the Montana FFA Foundation’s Career and Trade Show.

For companies, this is a great tool to market your business. Colleges, Universities and Clubs benefit as FFA members are all approaching graduation and want to further their education. We encourage you to make your display as interactive as possible to engage the students actively. We are more than happy to help you come up with ideas, here are a few suggestions, utilize at your own discretion:

• Competitive and interactive games such as trivia, coloring contests, darts, or other

engaging activities at your booth are a great way to engage with the students!

Students love a good competition, and it is a great way to start a conversation

regarding what you do.

• Recruit! If you have job openings, internships, or scholarship opportunities, please

let the students know, this is a great way to market your company or college to

students who are welcome to opportunities.

The Montana FFA Organization is dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth

and career success through agricultural education. We believe that through your participation and partnership with FFA you too can help to make a positive difference in

the lives of students. The Tradeshow starts at 10:00 am Thursday, March 23rd, and runs through Friday, March 24th at 4:00 pm, with time for you to make it to Thursday’s General Session if you so choose.

Attached you will find the registration form that should resolve any questions you may have. But please, do not hesitate to contact me with questions of any kind. Thank you very much for your time and commitment to excellence!

Sincerely,

Jaime Edmundson

Executive Director
