Preparation
First, please read the Advisor Guide for pertinent event logistical information.
The Texas government is not in session this year, so the day’s primary goal is for students to hear first hand from individuals on a wide variety of legislative topics. After the general session, FFA members will be grouped together with state officers and will go on a walking tour, stopping at designated stations to hear from our guest speakers. Even though it is a non-legislative year, we still encourage you to contact your local representatives at least two weeks prior to this event to see if they or their staff will be at the capitol and available to visit with your members. This is a great opportunity for your students to take ownership of their rights as a citizen. Learn how to schedule a meeting here.
This year we are introducing two documents to enhance the learning process that derives from Texas FFA Day at the Capitol. The Legislative Advocacy Handbook and the Student Preparation Guide will hopefully provide additional context and educational information as you plan you visit to Austin.
