1/30/2008

TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND SOUTH CAROLINA'S NATIONAL FFA ORGANIZATION MEMBERS, THEIR ADVISORS, SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS, PARENTS, AND ALL WHO SUPPORT, PROMOTE, AND ENCOURAGE THESE OUTSTANDING STUDENTS OF AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION ON THE OCCASION OF THE OBSERVANCE OF NATIONAL FFA WEEK, FEBRUARY 18-22, 2008.

Whereas, the National FFA Organization, formerly known as the Future Farmers of America, is an organization of more than five hundred thousand high school, technical college, and university students studying agriculture; and

Whereas, the National FFA Organization is dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of young people by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education at the local, state and national level; and

Whereas, nationally more than seventy-five percent of the FFA members enroll in a two-year or four-year program of higher education following graduation from high school in preparation for one of the more than three hundred career opportunities in agriculture, or one of every six jobs in the United States, which include more than eight thousand job titles; and

Whereas, corporate leaders in America believe so strongly in the proven success of qualified training through FFA that they jointly contribute more than twelve million dollars annually to the National FFA Foundation, of which two million dollars in higher education scholarships are awarded to FFA members nationally each year; and

Whereas, the FFA motto, "Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, and Living to Serve", epitomizes those high standards and qualities of leadership possessed by FFA members; and

Whereas, the South Carolina FFA Association and the agricultural education programs in South Carolina are tremendously successful and extremely valuable in improving the quality of life for South Carolinians; and

Whereas, the South Carolina FFA Association is launching the observance of National FFA Week, February 18-22, 2008. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, recognize and commend South Carolina's National FFA Organization members, their advisors, school administrators, parents, and all who support, promote, and encourage these students of agricultural education on the occasion of the observance of National FFA Week, February 18-22, 2008.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the appropriate South Carolina FFA officials.
