If anything, this will increase the leadership opportunities for more FFA members which may possibly increase the number of qualified individuals interested in pursuing their goal of becoming a national officer. Something that we are doing apart from other states must be working better, because we're producing such better officers. The goal of the Ohio FFA Association is to provide additional leadership opportunities for FFA members in Ohio. By increasing the number of members in leadership positions, we will hopefully be strengthening the leadership qualities of the membership and potentially of the state officers. This may allow select individuals of the Ohio FFA Association the opportunity to pursue the goal of becoming a national officer.
All states have qualified and competent state officers.
We don't claim to be better officers than those in other states, we just strive to be the best officers that we can be. While Ohio has recently had a streak of national officers, we must remember that out of the less than 60,000 members in the eastern region, Ohio has nearly 22,000 of them. The odds are in our favor that we would naturally have more national officers than other states in our region. Need geographical representation to allow everyone to be represented and that traveling will be kept to a minimum. Geographical representation will be strengthened with the passage of the amendment.
