Spring WA FFA Event Updates
/All,
Below is important information regarding non-convention FFA events we have coming up. Please read carefully. Details about Convention CDEs/LDEs will be provided at a later date.
CDE REGISTRATION:
Registration for all non-convention CDEs will officially open on January 15th. We will again be using Judging Card for these events. There are multiple ways you can access the registration.
To access the event calendar directly through Judging Card, click here
Click on the month of the event
Scroll to the date and click on the event name
To access individual events through the state website, click here
Scroll to CDE regististration
Each event has an individual registration link that can be clicked on to register
Important information needed for registering:
Make sure you have a Judging Card login.
You must contact judging card directly (info@judgingcard.com) to reset your username and password
Make sure your email is correct in Judging Card.
Once registration closes, coordinators and I will contact you through the email listed in Judging Card. If it is incorrect, you may not receive important updates.
Members need to have been submitted to the state on your roster in order for names to auto populate.
Registration for all pre-convention CDEs will close two weeks prior to the event at 9:59 PM (11:59 Central Time).
When registering two teams, please register your Team 1 under the event name "Team 1" and your second team uner event name "Team 2", this will allow us to easily see which member is on which team.
To check your registration status, log into your Judging Card Account. Click on "Event Registration and Information" (Calendar Icon), then click on "List of My Entries" on the top right side of the page. There you will be able to see all events that your chapter is currently registered for.
I will continue to send reminders one week before and the day of registration closing.
CDE UPDATES:
Horse Evaluation-Due to construction at the Kittitas Valley Event Center not being completed, state horse will not be held in Ellensburg. We are finalizing details but tentatively it will be April 26th in Kittitas, WA. Look for more details shortly.
Vet Science-There is going to be a MAJOR overhaul to the Vet Science CDE at nationals next year. Find more information here. After much discussion with our state coordinator, at this time it is not feasible to make all these changes at the state level for 2023. However, we will make the name changes/corrections and deletions from the ID list that nationals has released. This seemed to be an easy step to get us on track to make more changes next year. The handbook has been updated on the state website to reflect these changes. No additions will occur until 2024 (these are listed in the handbook but clearly marked as being added in 2024).
AGRISCIENCE FAIR:
Registration will be through Judging Card, opening January 15th. Written materials and registration will be due March 15th at 9:59 PM.
Presentations will be at the Puyallup Spring Fair on April 22nd, 2023. More information to follow.
The handbook has been updated on the website to remove the "state information" section that was listed. It would direct those reading it to the FFA superintendent from the Spring Fair who is no longer there.
MEMBER LEADERSHIP SERIES:
Attached you will find a flyer for our Member Leadership Series. Registration will also open January 15th with an email to come that day with the jotform link.
