Today is the day! The final session of the 98th National FFA Convention.
The new 2025-2026 National FFA officers will be announced shortly, but before that, the National FFA President Thaddeus Bergschneider must deliver his retiring address.
Thad was the 2023-2024 Illinois FFA State President before being on the national team.
“As a national officer, I aspire to create a culture where all members know they belong and can pave their unique paths.”
