For the 2024-2025 school year, FCAE-Local Program Support is pleased to provide funding to cover chapter dues and one advisor professional membership for the IL Junior MANNRS chapters from the FY25 IL Ag Education Line Item. In order to receive funds, chapters must submit an application that includes a list of your Junior MANRRS chapter officers, SMART goals, and expected budget for the coming year by September 30th.
This is the third year we have been able to provide funding for chapters and we are excited to be able to expand and grow even more chapters in Illinois. Therefore, our team has determined that once funds from the FCAE-LPS grant have been used for three years by a single chapter, it will be the chapter’s responsibility to cover their $200 dues after that point. This means, for many of you, the dues will be covered this year and we ask that you plan ahead for the 2025-2026 school year dues payment to be made on your own.
Also, mark your calendars now for the 2025 IL Junior MANRRS Conference that will be held March 20-22, 2025 in Decatur, IL. More details will be coming this fall as we finalize plans, reserve blocks of hotel rooms and plan for another great event! If you have ideas or input, please pass them along to myself, Megan Coy (mcoy@ilaged.org) or Lucas Allen (lallen@ilaged.org).
