Allowing more students to be involved in FFA is what affiliation – one of two membership options – strives to do. Affiliation is where a chapter pays a flat overall fee compared to optional dues-based membership where it’s paid per member.
One student-led committee made up of delegates from across the nation were tasked with exploring the pros and cons of the proposed models for required affiliation.
Karson Calvin of Missouri chaired The Student Perspective on Affiliation Committee where the recommendations will be voted on by the 475 delegates before being sent to the National FFA Board of Directors.
Broadcast News Desk Intern Michelle Stangler hears more what affiliation is and what the committee spoke about.
