Each year, the National FFA Organization elects student leaders to represent their individual states, which leads to an annual cohort of state FFA officers.
A state FFA officer will do everything from leading workshops and giving keynotes to sitting on state boards and serving as delegates at the national level, all while traveling across their state.
