Oregon FFA State Office
Words of wisdom from the State Officer Candidate Packet:
"The primary responsibility of a state officer is to serve. When you become a state officer, you agree to dedicate one year of your life to service with the association. Your year of service as a state officer is one of profound growth—you will change in ways you never imagined. This may be the greatest personal benefit of serving as a state officer, along with knowing that you alone make a positive difference in the lives of thousands of FFA members, advisors, partners, state leaders and others.
If elected to serve the organization as a state officer, a great deal will be expected of you. Many people— including state FFA staff and, most of all FFA members—will require your time and talents. There will be little time left to call your own. Midnight bedtimes and early mornings become a part of your everyday life. It will be a challenging year full of joys and discomforts—with the joys far outweighing the discomforts. Decide now if you are up for this challenge. If you would rather live the life of a college student— follow your own schedule, see your friends and watch television—state office is not going to be a good fit for you.
Being elected to state FFA office is making a commitment to service that is unique to most student organizations. In addition to serving and representing more than half a million FFA members, you will represent the image and direction of the organization to teachers, state staff, teacher educators, agriculture executives, government leaders, the media and the general public. You will also be a teammate to five other officers and a co-worker to more than 100 advisors state FFA staff.
There are eight key roles state officers play. Those who commit their time, energies and passions toward learning, living and modeling these eight keys of success will not only successfully complete their term of service, they will move toward excellence professionally."
