Ohio FFA Officer Program

Ohio FFA Officers
The Ohio FFA officers consists of the six state FFA officers: state president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, reporter, sentinel; and ten district presidents representing each of Ohio's ten districts.

Overview of Ohio FFA Officer Activities
The purpose of the Ohio FFA officer program is to provide effective leadership for the Ohio FFA Association. This can best be met by providing a motivational program for the membership and by being an instructional and developmental program for the state officers. Additionally, this program provides a public relations source for agricultural education and the FFA, a resource for teachers, and a positive image through a connection with individuals in agricultural education related organizations.

The state FFA officers are elected at state convention in May and the district presidents are elected at their respective district meeting in April. Officers begin their year of service with training sessions where they meet and get to know the other team members, learn about their duties and responsibilities, and plan and set goals for the upcoming year. Next, the state officers receive additional training at the National Leadership Conference for State Officers (NLCSO) with state officers from other states. The Ohio FFA officers spend the summer attending all of the FFA Camp Muskingum sessions. Additionally, the state president and vice president attend the State Presidents' Conference in Washington, D.C.

During the fall, officers present chapter workshops, Greenhand speeches, and conduct numerous fall camps and coordinate and present the Fall COLT Conference. The officers serves as delegates to the National FFA Convention in October and hold a holiday celebration for their families in December. As winter continues, plans for the state convention become a priority and the officers begin preparing to attend chapter meetings, activities and banquets. As convention nears, officers spend time writing scripts, finalizing committee work, and practicing for the state convention.

Ohio FFA officer interviews will take place on Saturday, April 12, 2008 at Ohio State University.
