The Lawrence County FFA Chapter recently received a National Chapter Award at the 2023 National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Members representing the chapter were able to walk across stage at the National FFA Convention where 70,000 members from across the nation were in attendance.
The award is based off all activities, events, and programs that our chapter conducts or participates in throughout the year. Chapter members must document enough activities based on the standard set by the National FFA Organization into a Program of Activities. The top activities are then judged by a committee from the National FFA Organization.
Lawrence County was one of only two chapters in the state of Mississippi to receive this award.
