New Career Opportunity at the ND FFA Foundation
We have some exciting news from the ND FFA Foundation! We have done some restructuring, and Beth will be spearheading a new role as our Finance Manager, creating an opening for a new Executive Director.
Moving Beth to a finance role will not only ensure financial stability and efficiency within the Foundation but secure a smooth transition for our new Executive Director. This is the beginning of new growth and transition for the Foundation, and we are eager to serve ND FFA in a larger capacity with a team of 3! If you feel your talents will complement our team, view the new listing here!
