What change occurred in 2018 regarding the National FFA Alumni Association?

• A. Renamed to National FFA Alumni and Supporters and bylaws changed to operational policies
• B. Merged with the National FFA Organization
• C. Dissolved the Alumni Association
• D. Created a new scholarship program for Alumni

Answer: (A)

In 2018, the National FFA Alumni Association rebranded to include a broader group of supporters and reworked its governance. The name change to National FFA Alumni and Supporters reflected that both alumni and other supporters could be involved with the organization. At the same time, the governing documents were updated so that rules moved from formal bylaws to operational policies, guiding daily activities and practical operations rather than just high-level governance. This combination—a new name that includes supporters and a shift to operational policies—best captures what happened that year. The other options didn’t occur: there was no merger with the National FFA Organization, no dissolution of the Alumni Association, and no new alumni-focused scholarship program introduced in that year.
