Who is responsible for the governance of the National FFA Organization?

The governance of the National FFA Organization is primarily managed by a board of directors, alongside the National FFA Board of students. This structure allows for a combination of experienced adult leadership and youth representation, ensuring that both the vision of the organization and the needs of its members are effectively addressed.

The board of directors is made up of representatives from various sectors related to agriculture and education, providing oversight, strategic direction, and support for the organization. Meanwhile, the National FFA Board of students, composed of elected student leaders, ensures that the voices of the youth members are heard in the decision-making process, promoting engagement and involvement from the student body.

This model is essential for fostering leadership, both among the adult leaders and student members, aligning with the mission of FFA to develop the potential of youth in agricultural education.
