State FFA Officer


One of the greatest feelings I will ever feel is running up onto the Wisconsin Association of FFA Convention stage after being announced as a state officer. I will continue my daily knowledge as I serve this great organization and share "What I Learn as a State Officer" on my blog there! Feel free to check out what I am doing over this next year!

The address is www.wisconsinffa.org. Just click on the 4 on the top buttons. It is right behind the State Officer blogs!
Enjoy!
