Distinguished Service Award
Mr. Al Sick, Jr., provided tremendous support and assistance to the formation and organization of the Nebraska FFA Alumni. He was a member of the Nebraska FFA Alumni Council from the founding of the organization in Nebraska (1972) until 1985 (the time of his death). He served as President of the Nebraska FFA Alumni Association and on the National FFA Alumni Council. He was recognized with the Honorary American FFA Degree as well as the Distinguished FFA Service Award at the National level.
Mr. Sick, Jr., was a tireless worker for the FFA. His life certainly represented the ideals on which the FFA was founded. It is only fitting that the Distinguished Service Award be based recognizing those same characteristics in others.

Individuals who have made significant contributions to Nebraska agriculture, agriculture education, Nebraska FFA and/or FFA Alumni.
