Good afternoon FFA Advisors,

We are just 93 short days away from the opening gavel of the 93rd Washington FFA Convention & Expo in Kennewick! All things state convention have been updated on our website under the "Convention" tab. This includes registration details, schedule of events, and convention hotel block information.

Key Items to Note:

After review of the convention budget, the Washington FFA Board of Directors approved an increase in convention registration fees from $50 to $75 per person.
State convention registration will open on March 1st and close on April 15th. We will again use JudgingCard for registration. Advisors need to register students for attendance AND their respective contests within the same registration portal.
Housing blocks for convention are open now through April 19th. After this date hotels are not obligated to honor block negotiated rates. We are continuing to add additional hotels to this list over the next few weeks.
A draft schedule of events has been posted for reference and scheduling. These dates/locations are subject to change. Any material changes will be communicated and updated on the schedule as things are finalized.

We're looking forward to celebrating Washington FFA members and chapters across the state. Best of luck as you take on the craziness that is springtime as an FFA Advisor!

Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Thanks,

Dany
