Celebrating 50 Years of Women in FFA
It’s been 50 years since the 1969 National FFA Convention when women gained full, national membership in FFA.
In 1969 women were officially allowed membership into the National FFA Organization. In the 50 years since the formal acceptance of female membership, women have become an integral part of the organization. Women have achieved significant milestones, and they continue to shape the future of agricultural education and the industry of agriculture.
