On behalf of I myself and the 2007 Foundation Sponsors’ Board, I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to you, our corporate sponsors and individual contributors, as well as the entire foundation staff, as we were able to raise more than $13 million to ensure that the legacy of the “Blue and Gold” continues to prosper! Your contributions provide critical funding to sustain the personal and professional development of young men and women, thus allowing them to develop valuable leadership skills necessary in realizing their career goals. It is tremendously gratifying to see sponsors, volunteers, educators, and state and national FFA staff working together to ensure that each member has the opportunity to realize true leadership, personal growth and career success through their involvement in FFA and agricultural education. This year our theme is, “Blue Jackets, Bright Futures.” To me, it serves as a reminder that, since its inception more than 75 years ago, the revered blue jacket represents the common bond of agriculture we all share, the standard of excellence to which we hold ourselves and the bright future that is attained through membership in FFA. FFA reflects the diversity of our industry and of our youth — and the future remains bright. Today, FFA membership is at a 29-year high, with more than 500,000 members in 7,358 programs across the country. In 2007, a major initiative was launched to prepare plans to expand agricultural education and FFA to 10,000 quality programs by 2015. This initiative will provide opportunities for thousands more to experience what FFA and agricultural education have to offer. It will also mean that we will need your continued support and the support of new sponsors and contributors to help make this dream a reality. I know that by working together we will rise to the occasion. During these past four years as a Sponsors’ Board member, I have had the opportunity to work with scores of sponsors and visit with hundreds of FFA members, seeing their excitement, passion and hope for the future. I can tell you that every single FFA member I have met is fully aware and deeply appreciative of the incredible support the organization receives from its sponsors. Thanks again for your generosity, and I hope you will continue your support in the future. You are truly making a positive difference in the lives of these young men and women, and in the future of agriculture. Sincerely, Glenn A. Stith Glenn A.
