The Texas FFA
Association has launched a program to reconnect with the hundreds of thousands
of students that have worn the distinctive blue and gold FFA jacket over the
last eight decades. “The Texas
FFA is celebrating 75 years of success through youth leadership development and
agricultural education,: said Tom
Maynard, executive director of the Texas FFA program. “We want to hear from our former students about how their
lives have turned out and how their FFA training helped them.” Maynard said
the 75th annual observance of the FFA’s birthday in Texas is an
excellent opportunity to locate the students that have been in FFA over the
years. The organization plans to do
that with a website, and a media campaign encouraging former students to make
contact with the organization. To assist
alumni in reconnecting with the organization the Texas FFA has launched a new
website: www.texasffa.org.
Alumni can visit the website and click on the 75th Anniversary logo
to submit their contact information. What started
as an organization for farm boys in 1929, has grown into a large and
sophisticated program that trains both boys and girls in agricultural science,
public speaking, parliamentary procedure and a solid work ethic.
“We believe FFA has matured into a diverse youth organization teaching
leadership, technology, career and character development,:
said Tobin Redwine, this year’s student president of the Texas FFA
Association. “We are eager to
hear from all generations of former FFA members about how FFA has impacted their
lives: The Texas FFA
initiated this project to reunite
former Texas FFA members with the organization, to keep them informed about the
organization and to let current members know how the Texas FFA can impact their
own lives, through the experiences of others. The
Texas FFA is the nation’s largest state FFA association with a membership of
58,753 and 977 local affiliates.
