What is a typical activity associated with a member receiving the Honorary Degree?

Receiving the Honorary Degree is a significant recognition within the FFA organization that honors individuals who have rendered outstanding service to FFA and its members. This accolade is designated for individuals who may not be FFA members themselves, such as community leaders, educators, or supporters of agricultural education, who have made substantial contributions to the organization or the agricultural community.

This choice reflects the spirit of the Honorary Degree, celebrating those who have facilitated opportunities, resources, and support for FFA members, helping them to succeed in their endeavors. The other options, while important activities within the organization—leading meetings, providing counseling, and being a member for a specific duration—are typically associated with active member participation and are not criteria for receiving the Honorary Degree. Thus, outstanding service stands out as the defining characteristic for this particular honor.
