Greetings State Officer Candidate,

First and foremost, thank you for choosing to run for a position to serve on the 2024-2025 State FFA Officer team! Congratulations are also in order to you as you take on the challenge to become one of the few State FFA Officers in our membership totaling over 13,000! It is truly astounding when it is put into this perspective.

You are about to embark on an amazing journey through which you will grow tremendously regardless of the outcome of the process. There will be tasks ahead of you that will challenge you in many ways, but I know that you possess the necessary skills to face them head on. The skills you already possess, along with the skills you will obtain throughout the State Officer candidate process, will only better prepare you for a successful future. 

Careful selection of the State FFA Officer team is incredibly important to the future of Arizona FFA. If elected, you will be traveling the State of Arizona visiting FFA members both virtually and in person, meeting with industry partners and making a positive impact. Please ensure you fully understand the major commitment you are making to your potential teammates, state staff and most importantly the members of the Arizona Association FFA. 

Know that regardless of the challenges that our world may face, we can make no guarantees regarding the format of the next State Office year. However, we are sure of the fact that our FFA members need the positive influence of State FFA Officers. A successful candidate knows that, in spite of challenges that may arise, they must be flexible, understanding and motivated to serve no matter the avenue.

We look forward to receiving your application and seeing you be the best you can be throughout the interview process!

Sincerely, 

Arizona FFA
