INDIANAPOLIS (Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023/National FFA Organization) – The 2023-24 National FFA Officer team was elected today during the final session of the 96th National FFA Convention & Expo in Indianapolis.
Students from Michigan, Missouri, Florida, Iowa, Ohio and New Mexico were elected by National FFA Delegates today to serve as 2023-24 National FFA Officers. They will lead the organization for the next year.
These members were selected from 35 candidates vying for the honor. Candidates take part in an extensive interview process with the National FFA Officer Nominating Committee leading up to the selection.
Kanyon Huntington of Iowa was elected central region vice president. He is a former member of the East Union FFA Chapter.
Each year, during the National FFA Convention & Expo, six student members are elected by delegates to represent the organization as national officers. Delegates elect a president, secretary and vice presidents representing the country’s central, southern, eastern and western regions.
Throughout their year of service to the National FFA Organization, the officers will interact with business and industry leaders; thousands of FFA members and teachers; corporate sponsors; government and education officials; state FFA leaders; the general public; and more. The team will lead personal growth and leadership training conferences for FFA members throughout the country and help set policies that will guide the future of FFA and the next generation of leaders.
