The 100th Virginia FFA State Convention celebrates a century of leadership, growth, and agricultural education and the people who made it possible.
As the birthplace of the FFA, Virginia holds a unique place in our organization’s history. From the first members who helped establish FFA to today’s students leading in classrooms, communities, and careers, this convention reflects the legacy of the blue jacket. It is where tradition meets momentum, where we honor the past while preparing for what comes next.
Whether you are a current member, advisor, alumni, or supporter, this is your convention. Join us as we celebrate a century of impact and continue cultivating a legacy that will carry Virginia FFA into the future.
