Advisory committees are a board of local business and industry professionals that provide guidance to the agricultural teachers, administration, and school board. Ideally, the committee members represent the agricultural industries relevant to the local community. The members bridge connections between their industry and the local program, while also keeping the program up to date regarding industry standards.
The American Falls Agricultural Education Advisory Committee is composed of about 30 local individuals. These individuals represent various facets of agriculture--from fabrication company owners to legislative representatives. Each year, the committee elects a chair and a vice-chair. The committee also includes the agricultural education teachers, school district superintendent, high school principal and vice principal, and three chapter FFA officers. The committee meets quarterly to discuss program plans and any updates. An agenda is prepared and sent to all committee members prior to the meeting, and minutes are taken throughout the meeting.
We are always seeking ways to improve the program in order to benefit our students. If you have an idea you would like to share, please contact us. If you are interested in serving in the capacity of an advisory committee member, please fill out the request form below and we will reach out shortly!
