What year was the National FFA Alumni Association established?

The National FFA Alumni Association was established in 1971, marking an important milestone in the history of the Future Farmers of America. The creation of the Alumni Association aimed to support FFA members and their activities while fostering a connection between former members and the organization. This association plays a crucial role in providing mentorship, resources, and financial support for FFA chapters and initiatives. By establishing a structured group for alumni, the FFA sought to maintain a relationship with its members even after they had graduated from high school and transitioned into their professional lives. This support network is vital for promoting agricultural education and leadership among young people.
