“We have been extremely happy with our relationship with FFA
over the past year and are pleased to announce the renewal of our
support of the chapter grant program,” said Greg Williamson, Arctic
Cat’s chief marketing officer. “The program has proven to be a
great way for our dealers to partner locally with their agriculture
community and, specifically, with their local FFA chapters.”
Arctic Cat and its participating dealers created a special
cooperative program that actively drives participation in FFA’s
local chapter grant program, allowing resources to be directed to
where they are most needed. In addition, the company will display
its key ATV and ROV machines – many of which are designed and built
for the needs of farmers and agriculturists – at the National FFA
Convention & Expo in Indianapolis, Ind., October 19-22, 2016.
Arctic Cat will also promote FFA on its website and through its
media partners.
Added Williamson, “Supporting the farming and agriculture
market, along with the young people in the communities where our
dealers do business, is critically important to us. Partnering with
FFA has given Arctic Cat the perfect opportunity to tie our
dealers, the local community and the Arctic Cat brand together in a
way that helps all those involved.”
