National FFA Week February 19-26

This past October, students from Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin were elected by national FFA delegates to serve as 2021-22 National FFA Officers.

Each year during the National FFA Convention & Expo, six students are elected to serve as president, secretary, and vice presidents representing the country’s central, southern, eastern, and western regions.

National FFA Week is coming up February 19-26, 2022.

And rather than have me tell you about the organization, how about Georgia's Erik Robinson Jr.? He is serving as the Southern Region Vice President.

"I'm National FFA Southern Region Vice President Erik Robinson from the state Georgia. All year long, FFA members experience education, leadership, service and personal and professional development as FFA feeds our intellectual growth and curiosity. Celebrated with us and share your FFA story during #FFAWeek."

One of six to lead FFA this year, very cool honor for Robinson. He is a criminal justice major from Georgia attending the University of Georgia.

The official name of the organization is the National FFA Organization. The letters “FFA” stand for Future Farmers of America historically.
