Each year, those who have made outstanding contributions to FFA, for more than 15 years, are honored with the VIP Citation.
Special Needs
It is a core responsibility of the Idaho FFA Association to provide opportunities to all Idaho FFA members regardless of their disabilities, special needs, or exceptionalities. The Idaho FFA Association works in partnership with its district associations and local programs to ensure members with special needs have the same opportunities along with positive learning experiences.
Idaho FFA recognizes that there are three key areas in which members are involved in activities outside their local chapters/programs where accommodations for special learning or abilities may be necessary:
1. Career and Leadership Development Events
2. Proficiency, Star and National Chapter Programs
3. Degree Programs
It is the responsibility of a member’s chapter FFA advisor to notify FFA district advisor or the state FFA advisor or state staff of a member’s accommodation needs in advance of an event so that there is appropriate time to ensure the member’s needs are met. It is the intent of the Idaho FFA Association to assist in meeting a members documented accommodations by adhering to the recommendations on the member’s IEP or 504 Plan. Advisors should complete a Request for Special Needs Accommodation for Idaho FFA Events and Programs Application located on the Idaho FFA Association website or available upon request from state FFA staff. Additionally, should a member require modifications based on physical need that is short term and not part of a school-based plan, the same communication should occur.
Special Needs Accommodations Form
Delegate Issue Proposal Form
Chapters wishing to submit a potential delegate issue must complete this form and send it to their FFA District Director prior to the end of the calendar year ending before the State FFA Convention. Forms should have the support of the chapter and include thorough information. Delegate issues are selected prior to the State FFA Convention.
