In her interview with RFD-TV News, White discussed the vast array of programming and activities planned—from leadership workshops to the highly anticipated keynote sessions—designed to inspire and equip the next generation of agricultural leaders. She also emphasized that this year’s convention is more than just an event; it’s a celebration of the future of agriculture and the thousands of young leaders who are driving innovation and growth in the industry.
As excitement builds toward the opening gavel on October 29, White shared what she’s personally most looking forward to as FFA members, advisors, alumni, and supporters come together to celebrate leadership, education, and service in agriculture. Finally, she also highlighted the economic and community impact the convention has on Indianapolis, noting the significant boost to local businesses and the lasting partnerships formed through the gathering.
