	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 196
	WHEREAS, In conjunction with the annual observance of
	National FFA Week, members, advisors, and guests of the Texas FFA
	Association are gathering in Austin on February 19, 2019, to
	celebrate Texas FFA Day at the State Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, For the past century, the Texas FFA has helped
	youth develop knowledge and skills in industries related to
	agriculture, food, and natural resources; the FFA program is
	integral to a three-part educational model that also encompasses
	classroom instruction and work-based learning through supervised
	agricultural experiences, which may include such activities as
	starting a business, conducting scientific research, or working
	in production for an established company; and
	WHEREAS, This noteworthy organization fosters good
	citizenship and strong leadership in Texas schools, and over the
	course of its long history, it has produced many outstanding
	community, state, and national leaders of industry, education,
	and government, including many members who have served in this
	chamber; and
	WHEREAS, The largest FFA affiliate in the country, the
	Texas association has more than 128,000 members and is guided by
	elected officers who each represent one of the state's 12 FFA
	areas; every year, the organization awards more than $2 million
	in scholarships to deserving members who have demonstrated
	academic excellence, career readiness, and preparation for
	effective civic engagement; and
	WHEREAS, The Texas FFA Association contributes
	immeasurably to the success of agricultural, career, and
	technical education, and in so doing, it has greatly enhanced the
	prosperity of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
	Legislature, hereby recognize February 19, 2019, as Texas FFA Day
	at the State Capitol and extend to all those participating
	sincere best wishes for an informative and enjoyable event; and,
	be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
	prepared for the Texas FFA Association as an expression of high
	regard by the Texas Senate.
	Hughes
