Why am I being charged a different amount than the fee table indicates?
National FFA is committed to transparency in how we are calculating and assessing membership fees. In keeping with long-standing practice, the National FFA Organization bills each state for all membership fees. States then have the right to add their own fees to the national fee as fees are collected from chapters
Will a chapter-based fee result in an increase in my dues?
This approach will not increase the total funds collected at the national level. However, it may result in some chapters having a higher or lower fee. It is important to note that dues have not increased since the 2010-11 membership year. Holding membership revenue to a minimum has been a priority to ensure cost does not become a barrier to membership.
Will students be able to opt-out of FFA membership?
By default, all students enrolled in an SBAE course will be FFA members and have full access to the FFA opportunities. Guidance is being written to support state association management of opt-out requests of FFA membership as an integral part of agricultural education. Students that do opt-out via their state approved process are then opted-out of local, district/region, state, and national FFA membership. There is no avenue to opt-out of national FFA membership only.
