Supporting the Next Generation at the Nebraska State FFA Convention

Sheila Shrader, NNLA Board Member, presented an award at the 2025 FFA Banquet.

The Nebraska Nursery and Landscape Association was proud to take part in this year’s Nebraska State FFA Convention. We hosted a booth during both days of the career fair at Pinnacle Bank Arena on April 2nd and 3rd, where we connected with students, shared information about careers in the green industry and answered questions about future opportunities.

On April 3rd, NNLA representatives also attended the FFA awards banquet dinner at Embassy Suites. It was a wonderful evening to get to know the students and their families and to celebrate their hard work and accomplishments.

To close out a rewarding day, the Nebraska Nursery and Landscape Association presented the horticulture proficiency awards during the ceremony back at Pinnacle Bank Arena that same evening. We were honored to support these talented students and look forward to seeing the impact they will make on our industry in the year’s ahead!

The Nebraska Nursery and Landscape Association is grateful for the ongoing partnership with the Nebraska FFA Foundation. Working together allows to support and inspire the next generation of leaders in horticulture and the green industry. We appreciate the Foundation’s dedication to agricultural education and look forward to many more opportunities to grow and strengthen this valuable connection.
