When you join the American Royal Association as a Governor, you are part of an individual giving, membership program. This program gives you access to American Royal events and provides financial assistance to fulfill our mission that supports American Royal education programs and competitions.
What is a Governor?
“Governor” is the title we give our members. The Governors Program is the American Royal Association’s annual membership program. It is a great way to connect with the Kansas City community while supporting youth and education.
We can’t do it without you. When you wear your American Royal crown pin, you are demonstrating your commitment to an organization that believes in the future of agriculture. Engage with us as we spread the word that our work is fun, relevant, and makes a difference in the lives of young people and agriculture.

Your Impact
Your Governorship at Work
Most importantly, your Governorship directly supports American Royal youth education programs and competitive events, which reach over 22,000 students annually.
Ag's future is our future. And today's young people will shape it. This year, “wear the crown.” Supporting the American Royal has never mattered more.
