The 91st North Dakota FFA Convention begins today. With the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s no surprise that this year’s convention is a little unconventional. “This will be the first ever time we deliver our retiring addresses online. That will be really cool,” said Ben Van Berkom, president, North Dakota FFA. “There are all kinds of events to be posted throughout the week, including our main general sessions and at the end of the week, we’ll name the new state officer team.” Van Berkom said it’s been a good, interesting year of service. “I look at this year as a whole and a part of me wants to be sad in the sense we didn’t get a typical end to the year, but another part of me wants to get excited to see this come to fruition. It’s a mix of feelings.” Daily sessions will be streamed on the North Dakota FFA Association’s Facebook page and YouTube channel. The convention concludes on Thursday.
