        2011, after 26 years of service in that capacity;
Whereas a former FFA member from Stet, Missouri, Dr. Case earned his bachelor's

Whereas Dr. Case began his career in 1966 as a high school agricultural 
        education instructor in Mendon, Missouri;
Whereas Dr. Case served as the Missouri director of agricultural education for 
        seven years;
Whereas in 1984, Dr. Case left Missouri for Washington, DC, where he became the 
        senior program specialist and coordinator for agricultural and rural 
        education;
Whereas in addition to serving as the National FFA Advisor, Dr. Case served as 
        the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of 
        the National FFA organization and Board President of the National FFA
