When I asked what on earth it was all about, he told me to come to the first meeting and find out. The first meeting came along, and I was absolutely determined I was not going to go. My brother, the Officer at Large for that year, won the argument, however, so along I went.
I watched as each officer stood up as their position was called and recited their piece. As they went down the line, I noted the different answers, the duties, the responsibilities.
For some, on their first time perhaps, that may be a correct answer. But as I attended the meeting, and many more to follow, I heard the answer to the question over and over again. But do you actually know what it means? What does brotherhood really mean?
It is described as an association, society, or community of people linked by a common interest or trade. Brotherhood is present in any and all organizations. The goal of brotherhood is to become closer with kindred individuals with the same interests. Practice Brotherhood. When FFA members practice brotherhood, we are enacting an 88 year tradition which our predecessors enacted to ensure the stability of this organization for years to come.
When FFA members practice brotherhood, we are setting a unifying example that sets precedents for all other alike organizations. When we wear the jacket, we practice that brotherhood. What are opportunities? What are responsibilities? An opportunity is a set of circumstances that makes it possible to do something. A responsibility is the state or fact of being accountable. As members of the FFA, we have an obligation to recognize the opportunities that are presented to us through this organization and act upon them.
In every day, there are 1, minutes. That means we have 1, daily opportunities to make a positive impact. Today, the National FFA Organization remains committed to the individual student, providing a path to achievement in premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.
FFA members rise to the challenge of service embracing members of all walks of life united through FFA. We Are FFA.

Educational materials are developed by FFA in cooperation with the U. Department of Education as a service to state and local agricultural education agencies. FFA Code of Ethics FFA members conduct themselves at all times to be a credit to their organization, chapter, school, community and family.
