Washington D.C.

The team went to Washington D.C. with a few million of our closest friends to attend President Barack Obama’s Inauguration. While in D.C. we had a Board of Directors meeting. The team was quickly able to see that the Board of Directors, Board Consultants and National FFA Staff are all extremely passionate people and we have full faith that the Organization is in remarkably good hands. The team was able to get tickets to attend the Inauguration. All of the team made it to their ticketed area except Riley. His gate closed and he and a few thousand people were turned away. If you want to learn more about this story, facebook Riley and he will be happy to tell you about it. President Obama gave an outstanding speech. The team was deeply moved to be at the Inauguration. We were surrounded with so many incredible people that day and we ended the evening very proud to be an American.
