                               RESOLUTION


 
 Supporting the designation of September 21, 2023, as ``National Teach 
   Ag Day'' and celebrating 75 years of the National Association of 
                        Agricultural Educators.

Whereas agricultural education and the National FFA Organization change lives 
        and prepare students for premier leadership, personal growth, and career 
        success;
Whereas, in the United States, more than 11,000 agricultural educators across 
        all 50 States, Puerto Rico, and the United States Virgin Islands teach 
        students about agriculture, food, and natural resources;
Whereas teacher recruitment and retention continues to be a significant 
        challenge, with a significant teacher shortage during the 2022-2023 
        school year;
Whereas the National Association of Agricultural Educators advances agricultural 
        education and promotes the professional interests and growth of 
        agricultural educators, and recruits and prepares students who have a 
        desire to teach agriculture;
Whereas the National Association of Agricultural Educators was established in 
        1948; and
Whereas current and future agricultural educators will celebrate ``National 
        Teach Ag Day'' on September 21, 2023: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) supports the designation of September 21, 2023, as 
        ``National Teach Ag Day'';
            (2) recognizes the important role of agricultural education 
        and the National FFA Organization in developing the next 
        generation of agricultural leaders who will change the world; 
        and
            (3) celebrates the 75th anniversary of the National 
        Association of Agricultural Educators.
