Students Become Leaders,
Develop Vision Through FFA
ALEXANDRIA, Va. FFA
empowers students to develop and
fulfill a vision for themselves,
their communities and their
nation.
FFA works hand in hand with
agricultural education, but its
impact reaches far beyond prepar
ing employees for the food, fiber
and natural resource systems. Stu
dents develop the premia leader
ship, personal growth and career
success skills they need to win in
agriculture or any other industry,
and in life.
“Agriculture offers tremendous
opportunities for young people,”
said National FFA Adviser Larry
D. Case, “and FFA is helping
them explore and take advantage
of those opportunties. Even if they
decide not to pursue one of the
200 careers in the business, sci
ence and technology of agricul
ture, they will benefit from the
public speaking skills, self
confidence and leadership talents
they develop in FFA.”
FFA members across the
United States, Guam, Puerto Rico
and the Virgin Islands will organ
ize events and activities to foster
awareness of agricultural educa
tion and support for FFA during
National FFA Week, Feb. 15-22.
National FFA Week is held each
year during the week of George
Washington’s birthday to recog
nize his leadership and commit
ment to American agriculture.
This year’s theme, “FFA -
Leaders with a Vision,” promoted
through communities nationwide,
emphasizes how FFA enables stu
dents to develop leadership skills,
prepares them to set goals and vis
ions, and empowers them to
achieve success. They are the
leaders who will carry the agricul
tural industry and the nation into
the next millennium.
