Loker

INDIANAPOLIS — Thirty-five FFA members have been selected to vie for national office at the 96th National FFA Convention and Expo.

The process to become a national officer is arduous, with the candidates — each state FFA association can submit one individual member annually — taking part in an extensive interview process with the National FFA Officer Nominating Committee. The committee is comprised of students who interview and select the national officers.

It takes a highly motivated person to become a successful National FFA Officer — an opportunity afforded to few members.

Becoming a national officer requires members to learn about their passions and gain a better understanding of what life as a national officer is like.

The life of a national officer is nonstop hard work and never-ending commitments, but it is a life-changing experience — one that they will cherish forever.

Thirty-five FFA members have been selected to vie for national office at the 96th National FFA Convention and Expo.
