Program Contacts
The National Chapter Award program is designed to award FFA chapters who actively implement the mission and strategies of the organization.
Based on a chapter's Program of Activities (POA) local FFA chapters are recognized for working in established areas called "quality standards."
The standards are organized into three divisions: Student development; Chapter development and Community development. Recognition is available at the state and national levels.

All dinner/media forms are due September 15th. You may purchase extra dinner tickets after September 15th through online registration or at convention registration based on availability.
