FFA Today: Paige Sierens is the first-ever Illinois FFA State Sentinel

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.

The first-ever Illinois FFA State Sentinel, Paige Sierens, joined RFD-TV’s Suzanne Alexander to discuss how it feels to be in this position, why it was added, and what she is most excited about for her year of service.
