- A significant, innovative, or unique contribution of the alum/supporter in giving back to FFA or agricultural education programs within the state, their local community, or state-wide initiatives;
- A special project, event, or issue/challenge supported by efforts from the alum/supporter within FFA or agricultural education programs within the state;
- A unique service, action, or mentorship the alum/supporter provides to FFA or agricultural education programs within the state;
- Fundraising or scholarship support efforts initiated by the alum/supporter for FFA or agricultural education programs within the state;
