Greetings from the Kansas FFA Foundation! I'm pleased to be in this role as the new Executive Director and am looking forward to meeting many of the new faces in Ag Ed, as well as rekindling some old friendships. There are exciting things ahead and I'm looking forward to the challenge of growing support for our programs.
Just in case you weren't at the convention to hear the announcement about the gift from Rick and Bonnie Malir, or maybe just want to see it again, here's a link to the announcement video that was played as way of introduction and sharing the news of this tremendous gift to the Kansas FFA Foundation. https://youtu.be/xDoAU3av9F0.
