Convention In Memoriam
Each year during the Texas FFA State Convention, we pause to honor and remember the valued members, advisors, and stakeholders of our FFA family who have passed away. The In Memoriam program is a time to reflect on their lasting impact and contributions to our organization and community. If you know of someone who should be recognized in this year’s tribute, we invite you to submit their information using this form.
