Affiliation Program
If your chapter is choosing to participate in the affiliation program, there are two steps advisors must take to complete the process.
Step One - Indicate in the roster system if your chapter is opting in or out of the affiliation program PRIOR to submitting membership. To do this, login and click “Account Settings” on your dashboard and click “Chapter Info.” Once there, select the check box if you are opting in, or uncheck if you are opting out. Be sure to save the page after making the change.
Step Two - Certifying that the students submitted on the roster represent all students enrolled in the instructional program via the affiliation certification form. This form must be completed every year and turned into the Texas FFA office. Affiliation certifications must be emailed to the office by November 1,2023. Please note that this is NOT a postmark date. You can email the forms to gwenn@texasffa.org.
If your chapter has indicated affiliation, but the certification form is not received by the deadline, your membership will be reverted to regular membership. National FFA requires a list of affiliated chapters from Texas FFA in November and will not make any changes after that point. Please keep in mind, the affiliation only applies to the state and national levels, any applicable district or area dues or fees still apply pursuant to area policies. Program affiliation also does NOT apply to junior membership.
