DELEGATE coordinators

Please contact our 2024 Delegate Coordinators with questions regarding the 2024 delegate process.

Delegate Issues

Current FFA members or chapters may submit issues for consideration during state convention delegate business.   Issues will be reviewed for relevance, duplication, and business docket availability before acceptance. 

2024 Issues for Consideration

  • Delegates should review the delegate handbook which includes 2024 issues for discussion and consideration.

Delegate handbook

Serving as a convention delegate is an important leadership role. Delegates provide input on the work of our organization, and assist in the selection of state officers. The following skill sets are recommended for chapter delegates:

  • Proficient in parliamentary procedure

  • A solid knowledge of FFA at all levels

  • A mature attitude towards their duties as a delegate

  • Able to think clearly and communicate well

  • A basic understanding of the qualities of a good state officer

  • Enthusiasm and dedication to fulfilling their duties as a delegate

Each chapter shall be entitled to send one delegate from its active membership to the state convention. Chapter delegate (and one alternate) registration will be completed with the chapter’s state convention registration through JudgingCard.
