Lincoln, NE (March 10, 2010) - The Nebraska Farm Bureau Ag Promotion Committee has selected the two recipients of the FFA Chapter Advisors of the Year Award: Anthony Tvrdy of the Waverly FFA Chapter and Roger Lechtenberg of the Ainsworth FFA Chapter. The teachers were selected based on their accomplishments with their FFA chapter and community and school involvement. Each was nominated by an FFA chapter officer. “Both teachers are longtime FFA advisors and spend countless hours working with their students to make them successful in all of their endeavors.” Cathy Day, director of special programs for Nebraska Farm Bureau, said March 10. This program is in its second year. The advisors will be recognized at the FFA Convention in Lincoln, April 8-9. The winning advisors receive a plaque and $250 to be used for their FFA chapter. “This year we had outstanding applications and the selection committee had a very difficult time choosing the two winners. All of the advisors nominated are outstanding agriculture leaders in their community,” Day said. The nomination form for the 2011 award will be distributed via the FFA intranet in January. It is also available at www.nefb.org. Applications must be postmarked by Feb. 1
