Purpose, Passion and Persistence Makes FFA Proud

ffa-14-brownWhen National FFA Advisor Dr. Steve Brown talked to the thousands of students in attendance at the recent convention, he summed up the mission of FFA in three simple words – purpose, passion and persistence.

“We also talked about being “FFA Proud,” said Brown in an interview with Jamie Johansen. “They’re here for a purpose, to learn about agriculture and pursue their dreams. They have that deep passion about FFA that shines every time they put on that blue and gold jacket. And they know to be persistent because that helps them to be recognized in future years.”

Jamie has known Dr. Brown for many years in her experience with FFA and agricultural education and she was pleased to have this opportunity to share his thoughts: Interview with National FFA Advisor Dr. Steve Brown
