We have enjoyed getting the chance to work with Faith and Prim when they joined our ranks as Foundation Ambassadors (it is a pair you know). Faith has gone on to serve as a Texas FFA Officer and Prim is there by her side ... something tells us they are on each other's side. Keep up the good work, Faith ... and Prim.
The Texas FFA is fortunate to have many great sponsors. Priefert hits a home run with this message.
Our students, teachers, and sponsors say it best.

2020 Foundation Ambassadors,
“THANK YOU” for doing such an incredible job this year serving as the Ambassadors of the Texas FFA to all our wonderful sponsors. I couldn’t be more proud of the job you did. BRAVO!
You are some of the most creative, innovative, and passionate Texas FFA members we have ever met. You stepped up to the TikTok Ambassador Challenge and EXCELLED! Our videos totaled more than 20,000 views! Way to go! While they were all well done, we do have to pick a winner.
The winner of our 2020 Foundation Ambassador TikTok Challenge … who has won a custom pair of Texas FFA Justin Boots … is Cheyenne Thomas from the Klien Oak FFA. Good job, Cheyenne. We also want to recognize 2nd place winner – Reagan Meinardus, and 3rd place winner – Jasper Cansler.
We appreciate all of you for taking on this important task of promoting the Texas FFA, saying “thank you” to our sponsors, and helping us promote the 92nd Annual Texas FFA Convention.
Make it a great school year, and do not hesitate to call if the Texas FFA Foundation can ever be of assistance.
LEAD ON!
Ambassadors,
Tomorrow we will announce the winner of the ! We are so proud of each and every one of you that participated. All the videos were so creative and we’re glad you took the opportunity to use your platform to spread gratitude for the sponsors! Be on the lookout for updates about the winner tomorrow. 🥳🎉
At the 2013 Passion for Excellence Award Celebration, then CEO of La Quinta - Wayne Goldberg was honored. We commissioned Texas singer / songwriter Kayla Conn to write a song in his honor. Her lyrics were not only spot on for Wayne, but they also speak volumes to all our sponsors who make the world a better place.
It's not too late to get your sponsor Tik Tok videos in. Produce it, share it, promote it, and you could win. Good Luck. Keep up the good work.
2020 Ambassadors,
Check your emails and GroupMe chats! We just sent a link to a google form to confirm your name, chapter and mailing address. This information will be used to create and send your Ambassador certificate that is usually given out at the end of convention.

Thank you,

Mark your calendars and be on the look out for additional information. We are going to schedule some voluntary wrap up and debrief ZOOM calls. The coordinators will be in touch with the details, but here is what we are thinking:
Groups 1 - 4: Zoom Call tomorrow (Saturday) at 3:00 p.m.
Groups 5 - 8: Zoom call on Sunday at 3:00 p.m.
Again, these calls are voluntary but a chance to gather and discuss the activities of this week. What worked. What needed improvement. Any feedback you received.
Your feedback is encouraged and we hope you can join us.
While we didn't get a chance to walk on the Texas FFA Convention stage and say "thank you," "good job," or "congratulations," we wanted to take a moment and applaud you. You helped us tell the incredible story of the Texas FFA in an incredible way.

Eight Ways A Nonprofit Can Attract More Employees Or Volunteers
Volunteers and employees together are crucial to the success of a nonprofit. Unfortunately, in recent years, the increasing number of nonprofit entities has made competition for employees and volunteers a significant concern. If a charitable organization aims to remain viable in the future, it needs to figure out the most effective way of attracting new talent.
#8 Create A Pipeline Of Talent
Create a pipeline of talent. Utilize youth development programs which encourage a progression through the ranks of junior, senior, team leader and coordinator opportunities. Once complete, you have a ready-made volunteer or employee who understands the organization's culture, programs and expectations. - Aaron Alejandro, Texas FFA Foundation

We live in a beautiful country and a wonderful state. We have so much to be thankful and grateful for. We value our freedoms, liberties, and opportunities to pursue the American dream. Texas agricultural science education and the Texas FFA have more pathways to engage, opportunities and scholarships than ever in our history. America the beautiful ... yes she is.
Happy Independence Day! 🎆 We hope you all have a wonderful day and stay safe out there.
This is just a reminder for all 2020 Ambassadors to check emails. Over the course of the next few days we will be sending valuable information about our virtual Ambassador experience.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. - Dayton Wood 2020 Jr. Ambassador Coordinator.
