1 Dear FFA Members and Parents, First of all, congratulations on reaching this point in your FFA career. We applaud you and appreciate your dedication to the organization. This packet has all the information needed in order to apply for a position as an Alaska FFA State Officer! Please review the application closely not only to fully complete the application, but also to understand the expectations and responsibilities of a State Officer. The position of State Office is an honor that we take very seriously. The role of a State Officer is rigorous and extensive. As a State Officer, you will be expected to execute the State FFA Program of Activities (including conducting chapter take-offs; advocating for agriculture, FFA, and agricultural education; working closely with stakeholders and sponsors; attending planning meetings; and planning and executing the Alaska FFA State Convention) and receive the proper training to accomplish such activities. All officers are expected to be active members of their chapter and to help the chapters of Alaska execute their own Program of Activities. State Officers shall build and maintain close relationships with FFA members across Alaska, and help inspire, motivate, and education them to participate in FFA and agricultural/natural resource education programs that will further their potential in premier leadership, personal growth, and career success. State Officers will also be expected to, at all times, be a positive image for Alaska FFA and as a leader among American youth. On a more regular basis, State Officers will be expected to respond to and participate in weekly group s with fellow State Officers and State Advisors. In addition, there will be monthly teleconferences State Officers will be required to attend. Prompt responses to s and presence at teleconferences are essential because these will be the main modes of communication. Alaska FFA will pay for travel to and from each FFA event the State Officer is required to attend and provide meals and lodging. In many cases we ask your students to find their own means of transportation, in which case we will pay $.30 per mile to cover gas costs. In addition we will purchase a new FFA jacket for each officer as well as some other state officer gear. The only exception to this is the trip to National FFA convention. We ask the State Officers to fundraise with their home chapter and pay for that as they have in the past, whether it s as a chapter or as individuals. The role of a State Officer is not only work, but has many benefits. It leaves an individual with inseparable friendships, skills important for the rest of your life, and experiences you can t find anywhere else. If you have any questions about the role and expectations of a State Officer, please do not be afraid to contact the Alaska FFA State Staff. All the best Russell Walter Alaska State FFA Advisor 1509 S. Georgeson Dr. Palmer, AK rhwalter@alaska.edu cell

3 Delegate Interest Form Every year the Alaska FFA Association has two delegates. These delegates have the opportunity to attend a training put together by National FFA as well as vote on National FFA issues at the National FFA Convention. The National FFA training is called State Presidents Conference (SPC). It occurs over the summer (dates in the Alaska FFA Year at a Glance ) and is attended by two State Officers from each state, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. It reviews all delegate issues that will be considered at the National FFA Convention and individuals will be placed on committees working with National FFA issues. Issues reviewed at SPC will be voted on at the National FFA Convention. The delegates MUST plan on attending the National FFA Convention a few days early (2 or 3) since committees formed at SPC will be finish their work and further training for delegates will occur. Following committee work and training, delegates will attend business sessions and vote on National FFA issues. Being an Alaska FFA delegate is an honor. It provides the opportunity to impact the National FFA Organization and to represent the Alaska FFA Association on a national level. It is an important position, but is also a treasured experience. We want to ensure that the individuals selected to attend the National FFA training also commit to attend the National FFA Convention to represent the Alaska FFA Association in voting on National FFA issues. It is important to remember that the Alaska FFA Association, while able to cover the expenses to attend SPC, is not guaranteeing the expenses to attend the National FFA Convention. Delegates would need to be able to cover this expense. Are you interested in serving as an Alaska FFA delegate? YES NO At this point in time, are you able to commit to attend both SPC and the National FFA Convention? (You maybe in interested but not able to commit yet) YES NO If you ARE interested, but NOT able to commit, what is the reason for this?
