State Officer Workshops

State officers offer interactive workshops designed to support member growth, chapter development, and leadership. Workshops can be incorporated into chapter visits, leadership events, and other FFA programming. Choose one of these five or request something custom when you submit the form.

YOUR PERSONAL BRAND

Students will identify the values, strengths, and behaviors that define how they show up as leaders. Through hands-on activities and reflection, members will craft a clear, authentic brand statement that captures their unique leadership identity. By the end of this workshop, students will understand how to apply their brand, making their leadership more intentional and impactful.

CONFIDENT COMMUNICATORS

In this workshop, students will explore, identify, and apply communication skills like verbal and nonverbal communication as well as listening skills and their importance within conversations. Through interactive activities, students will become better communicators and learn that communication goes beyond speaking.

LOOKING BACK TO MOVE FORWARD

Students will explore how personal reflection can spark positive growth. Through interactive activities, they will learn strategies for meaningful reflection and develop a plan to apply those practices as they grow as students, leaders, and servants in their communities.

FUEL YOUR FIRE: Turning goals into actions

FFA members will discover practical strategies for turning their goals into action. Through setting personal smart goals, with real-world action items, students will learn how to identify what motivates them, overcome obstacles, stay focused, and build the confidence to keep moving forward.

FFA 101: Beyond the jacket

Students will explore the fundamentals of the National FFA Organization, including its mission, history, traditions, official dress, emblem, and degrees. Through interactive activities, members will discover opportunities for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success while learning how to get involved and make the most of their FFA experience.

Not sure which workshop is the best fit? Share your chapter's goals when requesting a visit, and the state officer team can help identify an appropriate program.

     
State Officer Visits

State officer visits are an opportunity to connect members with Virginia FFA while supporting chapter programming, leadership development, and member engagement.

Bring a State Officer to Your Chapter

State officer visits are designed to create meaningful opportunities for officers to connect with members and support chapter programming. Visits may include facilitating a workshop, leading an activity, speaking to a group, participating in chapter programming, or simply spending time interacting with members.

The best visits give state officers an opportunity to lead, facilitate, participate, or connect—not simply attend.

Planning Your Visit

  1. Submit all visit requests at least two weeks before the requested date. Officer availability is based on schedules and geographic location.
  2. Virginia FFA covers the first chapter visit. Chapters should plan to cover travel and food costs for additional visits. Area rallies, COLTs, and advocacy trainings are covered by Virginia FFA.
  3. Advisor supervision of students is expected throughout the visit.
  4. Following the visit, please complete an evaluation to provide feedback and help us continue improving the state officer experience.
