National Convention

The national convention is the most popular trip for any FFA Chapter.  Woodbury is no exception.  The Woodbury FFA has broken records over the past few years including sending five SAE proficiency award national finalists and 11 career development event teams to the national convention in 2002.  The convention is held every year during the last week of October. 

 Many students, teachers, parents and community members made up the delegation from Woodbury.   We fly down on a Tuesday and return the next Saturday.  From 1928 through 1998 the National Convention was held in Kansas City, Missouri, until the city was unable to accommodate the growing FFA.  In 1999, the National Convention moved to Louisville, KY and stayed through 2005.  In 2006, the event was moved, this time to Indianapolis, Indiana, the new home of the National FFA Headquarters.  The Convention attracts approximately 50,000 people.  There are many activities at the Convention which include participating in the National FFA band, chorus, talent show, as well as workshops to improve leadership skills. One other very popular part of the national convention is the career and trade show.
