Outstanding Achievement Award
Each year the local affiliates are asked to nominate one member to be considered for the Outstanding Achievement Award at the state level. The state winner will be recognized at the annual meeting and be recommended for national consideration.
This program is designed to identify and recognize FFA Alumni members for their leadership and outstanding service to agricultural education, FFA and the FFA Alumni. All members of the Georgia FFA Alumni are eligible for this recognition. Applications should be submitted using the official application form.
The Georgia FFA Alumni Outstanding Achievement Award shall be presented annually to not more than three persons. A plaque or certificate shall be presented at the annual meeting. The Contest and Awards Committee of the Georgia FFA Alumni Council shall select the recipients from the applications received.
Because of the wide and divergent range of achievements that may arise on evaluating one individual's record in comparison with another, the following statements of criteria shall serve as a basis for cooperative evaluation:
The individual shall have gone beyond the call of duty to make significant contributions to agricultural education, FFA, and the FFA Alumni.
A significant situation, institution of action shall have been charged for the better because of the individuals personal participation.
