It is always a pleasure to receive Honorary members into the Central Lee FFA. It is our intent and purpose to recognize the efforts of individuals on our behalf. According to the FFA Constitution, farmers, school superintendents, principals, members of school boards of education, chapter advisors, teachers, staff members in Ag-Ed, businessmen, and others who are helping advance agriculture and the FFA, and who have rendered outstanding service, may be elected to honorary membership. This year, we would like to recognize those community members who have provided behind the scenes support and have been very instrumental in the success of our chapter. They have advanced our chapter program by giving ideas and offering any possible support while they recognize the importance of agriculture in Iowa. Six individuals were recognized recently at the 2024 Central Lee FFA banquet.
