COLUMBIA, SC…Kerry Lee Cox, president of the SC FFA Association of Latta, SC, will participate in the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California, on January 1, 2010, according to John W. Parris, state director of public affairs with the SC FFA organization.
Kerry Lee will join the National FFA officer team and state FFA officers from throughout the nation in accompanying the National RFD-TV Satellite Network Float. The float design will identify RFD-TV and the National FFA Organization. The imagery will support the FFA theme “Leadership for a Growing Planet” emphasizing the diversity and global role of agriculture. Design elements will support these themes and position the FFA in its modern agricultural and education context.
