FFA Members Earn State Degrees

By Kendall Dodson, Chapter Reporter

Three FFA members from the Nashville FFA Chapter will soon be receiving their State FFA Degrees. FFA members can earn degrees as they progress through the different phases of their leadership, academic, and career skills development during their FFA career. The State FFA Degree is the highest degree that can be awarded to a member from the Illinois Association FFA. In January, Mark Dalman, Christian Fullerton, and Kane Lamczyk participated in an interview based on their Supervised Agricultural Experience Programs on the section level and were recommended to receive the prestigious award. The degree will be bestowed upon the members during a special ceremony at the Illinois FFA State Convention in June of 2015. From left: Christian Fullerton, Mark Dalman and Kane Lamczyk.
