FFA Today: Oklahoma FFA Members Head to Tulsa for State Convention

Members from across the state will gather for competitions, workshops and leadership opportunities.

TULSA, OKLAHOMA (FFA Today) Oklahoma FFA members are preparing for one of the biggest events of the year.

The state convention returns to Tulsa tomorrow, bringing thousands of members together for competition, leadership opportunities and recognition.

Oklahoma FFA President Cooper Kline joined us on Monday’s FFA Today to talk about what’s ahead.

“I’m excited to get things kicked off in Tulsa. It’s been a very great community to work with and one that I’m really excited to get a lot of members here for sure.”

In his conversation with RFD News, Kline said the responsibility of serving as state president is something he doesn’t take lightly.

“It feels like the weight of the world is on you sometimes, but it’s a great weight to carry. It’s been such a blessing this year to have this opportunity and to get to work with over 30,000 members across our state.”

He says attendees can expect a full schedule, including award ceremonies, leadership opportunities and workshops led by agriculture leaders from across the state.

Kline says the past year has meant a lot to him, and he’ll always value the conversations he’s had with fellow FFA members and teachers.
