WISCONSIN FFA LICENSE PLATE CAMPAIGN
Help Us Collect 500 Signatures to Create a Wisconsin FFA License Plate!
We are working through the Wisconsin DMV to create a specialty license plate that proudly represents agriculture, our state, and FFA. The first step of the process is collecting 500 signatures of individuals who are interested in buying the license plate once it created.
Here’s how you can help: 1️⃣ Print the Wisconsin FFA Foundation License Plate Signature Page: https://wisconsinaged.org/license-plate-campaign 2️⃣ Complete all fields legibly (must be 16+ and a Wisconsin resident) 3️⃣ Submit your completed form to the Wisconsin FFA Foundation at kjentz@wisconsinffafoundation.org 4️⃣ Spread the word!
Once approved, we will hold a design contest to determine what the license plate looks like. Once it is available, the annual cost of the specialty plate will include: ✔️ $85 Annual Registration Fee ✔️ $15 Issuance Fee ✔️ $25 Donation directly supporting Wisconsin FFA members
Special thanks to the Elkhorn FFA Alumni for funding the initial fee to launch this effort and being our partner in this process!

At the beginning of March, the Wisconsin FFA Foundation Board of Directors gathered for its Spring Board Meeting at Kerry in Beloit, Wisconsin!
