    Leadership

    The Texas FFA Association State Officer Team consists of ten members to serve as officers for a year running from the state convention in July to the following convention. There are eight vice-presidents, one first vice-president, and one president. The ten individuals make up the board of student officers. The responsibilities of an officer for the Texas FFA are to serve as a representative of the association, represent the members at the Texas FFA Board of Directors Meetings, and carry out the day-to-day operations outlined in the Texas FFA Program of Activities. In order to run for state office a student must either be a graduating senior from high school, or be no more than one year removed from high school, hold the Lone Star FFA degree, and be willing to contribute many hours of service to the association.
