As we enter a new Grange year (2026-27) and prepare for State Session, it’s important to ensure we have accurate information! We’ve now posted a number of this year’s program books as well as several forms for your use. A summary list of program books:
- 2026-27 Agricultural Program Book
- Communications Handbook
- 2026-27 Community Service-FHH Program Book
- 2026-27 CWA Program Book
- 2026-27 Educational Aid Scholarship Information
- 2026-27 Lecturer’s Program Book
- 2026-27 Website Handbook (included in the new Communications Handbook)
The more complete list is available by visiting the Program Books and Information Page. You’ll also find additional resources, as well as the annual reports of committees and directors. Make sure your local directors and committee chairs have access to this information.
Even if you’re not attending the 152nd State Session, you’ll want to watch National Grange President Chris Hamp’s recorded welcome. It’s available on the convention page.
And a special thanks to those who have been submitting information-planned events and news-about your Grange. Keep it coming!
Knowledge is power, and it can help you overcome any fear of the unexpected. When you learn, you gain more awareness through the process, and you know what pitfalls to look for as you get ready to transition to the next level.
