Summary

This resolution expresses support for designating February 15 through February 22, 2025, as "National FFA Week." It formally recognizes the significant role of the National FFA Organization in fostering the next generation of leaders through comprehensive agricultural education programs. The organization's mission is to make a positive difference in students' lives by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success. The resolution also commemorates two significant historical milestones: the 90th anniversary of New Farmers of America , which served Black vocational agriculture students until its merger with FFA in 1965, and the 75th anniversary of the Future Farmers of America Federal charter , signed into law by President Harry S. Truman in 1950. With over one million members across the United States and its territories, FFA provides formative experiences that equip students with essential career-readiness skills and prepares them to be globally conscious citizens.
