Understanding the Commitment
Serving as a Virginia FFA State Officer is a year of leadership service
to the members of the Virginia FFA Association. Officers represent both
Virginia FFA and the National FFA Organization throughout their term
and are expected to uphold the highest standards of professionalism
both on and off the stage.
The experience resembles a leadership internship requiring travel,
preparation, teamwork, and dedication—but it is also one of the most
rewarding opportunities available to an FFA member.
