Andrea Stevenson, Florida's Candidate for Nat'l FFA Alumni Council Members-at-Large

Andrea Stevenson of Christmas, Florida is running for the National FFA Alumni Council. Get to know Andrea before casting your vote at the National FFA Alumni convention this October in Indianapolis, Ind.

Why do you want to be a member of the National FFA Alumni Council? I love the passion that Alumni members have for the FFA and helping kids in general. They are the "Poster Child" for volunteerism. FFA and Ag Ed becomes a part of us in such a way that we live it everyday. It would be an honor to have the opportunity to serve with such caring individuals that are determined to achieve the Alumni's goals, like myself.

Why are you so passionate about FFA and Ag Education? I have seen how both aspects can affect a child's life in a postive manner and shape their future. As a former member, the impact that FFA/Ag Ed and my Advisors had upon me was tremendous. I am confident that they helped make me the person I am today.
Agriculture is the foundation of the world. As a society, we need to continously provide leaders that can represent the industry intelligently while being diversified. The FFA, Alumni and Ag Ed have the opportunity to do just that.

What can you bring to the council? Lots of enthusiasm, experience, pride and dedication to anything I am involved with.

Tell us your favorite:
- National FFA Alumni Convention or Alumni Development Conference Moment: 2009 Colorado ADC during the Jeep Ride in the San Juan Mtns. It was a bumpy ride and all of us passengers got a little closer than we wanted to. But it made us laugh so hard and get to know each other a little better.

- Food: Beef and anything Southern Fried!
- Movie: Gone With the Wind and Lonesome Dove
- Song: "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd and "Respect" by Aretha Franklin

I would appreciate your support.
Andrea Stevenson
