This year is all about change at the National FFA Convention. During one business session, National FFA delegates proposed a change for how regions are divided. Minnesota FFA Association State Secretary Elaine Dorn says the delegates don’t know what states will go into which region. “Instead, we will send the request to a committee made up of members and other experts to determine regions.” The National FFA Organization also updated their federal charter. North Dakota FFA Association State Supervisor Aaron Anderson says it defines FFA’s partners. “In the old federal charter, the FFA was governed by the U.S. Department of Education. It still creates a partnership with the Education Department and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This allows FFA to self govern and FFA as an organization can operate independently.”
