Proficiency Awards Announced on 2020 Oklahoma FFA Virtual Awards Ceremony Show
Wed, 13 May 2020 03:39:49 CDT
For many FFA members, the academic year is coming to an unforeseen end as schools have moved online across the nation to mitigate COVID-19's spread in the U.S. This means that in-person events like chapter banquets and state FFA conventions are not happening as planned this spring. However, state FFA associations are adapting to the issue by moving convention sessions and activities online.
Oklahoma held it's virtual event on Tuesday evening, May 12th, calling it the Oklahoma FFA 2020 Virtual Awards Ceremony, holding it on the Oklahoma FFA YouTube Channel.
One of the series of awards handed out were the 2020 Proficiency Awards. Agricultural Proficiency Awards honor FFA members who, through supervised agricultural experiences, have developed specialized skills that they can apply toward their future careers. There are nearly fifty areas recognized by the National FFA that members can compete in- that current listing is available here.
Three Oklahoma FFA Chapters stood out, capturing multiple State Championships in the Proficiency Awards- Stillwater FFA captured four Championships, while Cushing and Hennessey each laid claim to three each.
Here is the complete list of the 2020 Proficiency Award winners in the 38 categories for Oklahoma FFA- the first place winner in each category will be elgible to compete nationally later this year and if selected as one of the four best in the US- may be able to be in Indianapolis in October to represent Oklahoma at the National Convention.
