Dear National FFA Foundation Sponsors, Forever blue Forever Blue represents all who value the hopeful spirit, generosity, enthusiasm and high ideals embodied by the blue FFA jacket. It also represents the common connection among the thousands of people who recognize the necessity of FFA and agricultural education in strengthening people, communities and the agricultural industry. The Forever Blue family represents National FFA Alumni, former members, Collegiate FFA, National FFA Foundation sponsors, teachers, state agricultural education administrators, teacher educators, donors and all those friends of FFA who know the positive difference FFA makes in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education. Are you a member of the Forever Blue family? If so, then you support FFA, the most enduring of high school organizations. Prestigious and successful alumni fill its roster. Your ongoing support is critical to keeping FFA powerful and relevant to a new generation – a generation whose expectation has changed dramatically. So as you review this annual report, consider your opportunity to contribute to the group that gives so much back – to the student, to the school, to the community and to you. I am pleased to report that 2006 was another in a series of watershed years for FFA, its 500,000 members and the schools and communities in which it serves. Through your commitment, we were able to raise more than 12 million for the National FFA Foundation, ensuring that the good work of FFA will continue to grow. This is an extraordinary achievement, and my personal thanks to all of you who worked so hard for such a good cause. Our slogan for 2006, Serving Through Your Contributions, was borrowed from the FFA Motto – Learning to Do; Doing to Learn; Earning to Live; Living to Serve. It represents the type of service that many of us are most capable of providing today; but more than that, it represents our ongoing willingness to serve in any way we can. These are the attributes being taught every day to young people through FFA and agricultural education, and they are what differentiate the impressive young people of FFA. Success like this year’s campaign requires a visionary and committed group of people to drive to a new record level of contributions, and I am privileged to have been a part of that team, the 2006 National FFA Foundation Sponsors’ Board and the unmatched FFA Foundation staff. My personal thanks go out to all of you for your time, energy and dedication to FFA and the work of the foundation. American agriculture is again facing a new era as traditional food and fiber production makes room for renewable fuel in a changing world. In addition, the expansion of agricultural education and FFA programs to a whole new range of subjects and career opportunities is opening doors for more students than ever before. The mission of FFA and the impact of educational programs built on “ developing the potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success ” are now more important than ever. We should all take great pride in the work we are doing to support this opportunity. Thank you again for your support and for your ongoing belief in the value FFA brings to today’s world.

In 2006, FFA embarked on a new adventure – moving the 79th National FFA Convention to Indianapolis, Ind. Known as “The Crossroads of America,” Indianapolis is conveniently located in the nation’s heartland and provides a perfect venue for the 54,489 members, advisors, parents and other guests who attended this grand event. Indianapolis is only the third site for the National FFA Convention. In 1928, the first convention was held in Kansas City, Mo., and it remained the sole venue for the next 70 years. From 1999 through 2005, the honor belonged to Louisville, Ky., and now Indianapolis will host the convention for seven years. Jeff Simmons “ Elanco Animal Health Elanco Animal Health believes that the No. 1 need for agriculture today is strong leadership and individuals who possess outstanding leadership qualities. We believe that the National FFA Organization is exemplary in building students who think critically, have a high level of integrity, possess a strong work ethic and are honest team players with strong leadership skills. Elanco is pleased to have been supporting FFA for more than 25 years and helping to ensure the development of tomorrow’s leaders.” 5

Agricultural Education’s Long-Range Goal,“10 x 15” T oday, agricultural education is at a crossroads. The need of American agriculture to secure a highly educated, talented and motivated workforce has never been greater, while the pressure to hold public schools accountable for academic achievement in math and sciences has never been more intense. Agricultural education faces twin challenges to improve both the quality of our programs and the number of students and communities they serve. The goal of “10 x 15” as embraced by each sector of our profession is clear: By 2015, there will be in operation 10,000 quality agricultural science education programs serving students through an integrated model of classroom/laboratory instruction, experiential learning, and leadership and personal skill development. Further, all students will be members of FFA and have a supervised agricultural experience that supports classroom and laboratory instruction. Working under direction of The National Council for Agricultural Education, the “10 x 15” Management Team has articulated eight strategic themes and identified eight high-priority initiatives. Those themes are: 1. Program Standards for Agricultural Education 2. Link Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources Content Standards to National Academic Content Standards 3. Develop Multiple Agricultural Education Designs 4. Program Data Reporting 5. Agricultural Educator Recruitment 6. Agricultural Education Advocacy Strategy 7. Agricultural Education Brand Strategy 8. Program Funding Strategy These themes represent a manageable body of work that can yield the greatest results in carrying agricultural education successfully into the future. The National FFA Foundation will play a pivotal role in identifying and securing the resources that will allow agricultural education to meet the needs of the agricultural industry and the students necessary to fill the industry needs. 8
