Successful FFA chapters understand that success is the result of planning carefully, then carrying out the plans. They organize their plans through a written Program of Activities (POA) that defines chapter goals, establishes functioning committees and outlines the steps students will take to meet the goals. The POA must be tailored to meet the unique needs of the local chapter, members and community.
 
The Program of Activities is more than a calendar of events. The POA sets specific goals for the entire chapter that encourage members to work together to build a stronger chapter, better community and develop leadership within themselves. With specific goals, the POA provides an organizational structure for a chapter's budget as well.
 

The POA is developed around three areas called divisions.

​

The divisions and their purposes are:

1. Student Development: Promote personal and group activities that improve life skills.

2. Chapter Development:  Encourage students to work together.

3. Community Development : Cooperate with other groups to make the community a better place to live and work

​

One key activity that most chapters hold is thier

Banquet.       
As the school year comes to a close, local FFA chapter often hold a banquet to recognize members’ accomplishments and celebrate their successes.  The chapter banquet is an opportunity for members to work together to plan and present the highlights of the year.  It is also a way for FFA members to recognize those who have provided guidance, wisdom and a helping hand to them throughout the year.
