AI Summary

This resolution supports the designation of February 15-22, 2025, as "National FFA Week" and recognizes the significant contributions of the National FFA Organization (Future Farmers of America). The resolution highlights the organization's mission of developing student leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education, noting that FFA has over 1 million members across 9,235 chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Washington, D.C. It emphasizes the organization's inclusive approach, with over 13,000 advisors providing innovative agricultural education that helps students develop career-readiness skills and become globally conscious citizens. The resolution also celebrates two important milestones: the 90th anniversary of the New Farmers of America (an organization that served Black vocational agriculture students during segregation and merged with FFA in 1965) and the 75th anniversary of the FFA's federal charter, which was signed into law by President Harry S. Truman on August 30, 1950.
