Out of 37 qualified candidates, six members were selected after an extensive interview process conducted by the National FFA Officer Nominating Committee. These students will serve as the official representatives of the National FFA, promoting agricultural education and leadership development nationwide.
Trey Myers from Oklahoma will serve as National President. Lilly Nyland from Michigan was chosen as National Secretary. The vice presidents include Joey Nowotny from Delaware for the Eastern Region, Jael Cruikshank from Oregon for the Western Region, T.
