  Association are gathering in Austin from February 21 to 26, 2021,
  to celebrate Texas FFA Week at the State Capitol; and
         WHEREAS, For the past century, the Texas FFA has helped
  youth develop knowledge and skills in industries related to
  agriculture, food, and natural resources; the FFA program is
  integral to a three-part educational model that also encompasses

  agricultural experiences, which may include such activities as
  starting a business, conducting scientific research, or working
  in production for an established company; and
         WHEREAS, This noteworthy organization fosters good
  citizenship and strong leadership in Texas schools, and over the
  course of its long history, it has produced many outstanding
  community, state, and national leaders of industry, education,
  and government, including many members who have served in this
  chamber; and
         WHEREAS, The largest FFA affiliate in the country, the
  Texas association has more than 137,000 members and is guided by
  elected officers who each represent one of the state's 12 FFA
  areas; those individuals are Blake Mills, president of Area VII,
  Emilee Sanderson, first vice president of Area II, Faith Snapp of
  Area I, Annie Valicek of Area III, Kirby Russell of Area IV,
  Caitlyn Muckensturm of Area V, Bella Yoder of Area VI, Amy Wallen
  of Area VIII, Carson Davis of Area IX, Alexa Salinas of Area X,
  Ryan Williamson of Area XI, and Rachel Bradford of Area XII;
  every year, the organization awards more than $1 million in
  scholarships to deserving members who have demonstrated academic
  excellence, career readiness, and preparation for effective
  civic engagement; and
         WHEREAS, The Texas FFA Association contributes
  immeasurably to the success of agricultural, career, and
  technical education, and in so doing, it has greatly enhanced the
  prosperity of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th
  Legislature, hereby recognize February 21 to 26, 2021, as Texas
  FFA Week at the State Capitol and extend to all those
  participating sincere best wishes for an informative and
  enjoyable event; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
