Osmond FFA Chapter Named 2 Star Chapter for 2019 National Chapter award by National FFA Organization
INDIANAPOLIS - The Osmond FFA Chapter of Osmond, Nebraska has been recognized in the
2019 National Chapter Award Program from the National FFA Organization.
This 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 for the entire membership.
Chapters received star ratings during judging in late July will be recognized at the 2019 National
FFA Convention & Expo, October 30th - November 2nd in Indianapolis.
All star-rated FFA chapters receive honors made possible by corporate sponsor John Deere.
“Feeding some 9 billion people by mid-century brings with it unprecedented challenges for
today’s farmers,” said Amy Allen, manager, national corporate contributions for John Deere.
“The skills and experiences learned through the National Chapter Award Program will help meet
the critical needs.”
