SC FFA State Convention
The South Carolina FFA Convention is a highlight of the Association's year. Nearly 1,000 FFA members, advisors, administrators, parents, and agricultural partners come together to celebrate the many achievements of SC FFA members from around the state.
While attending State Convention, FFA members are recognized for their hard work and dedication to the future of agriculture through award recognitions such as top placements in CDEs, STAR proficiencies, and being TAGGED to Teach Ag. State FFA Degree recipients are presented their pins during a ceremony, and the top chapters in the state are recognized with a Governor's Citation. Members attend motivational workshops, participate in a career and college expo, and listen to inspirational keynote speakers. Perhaps the greatest opportunity of all is simply the chance to gather in fellowship and fun with FFA members from all over the state.
