A Texas FFA State Officer Task Force was assembled in 2005 to review the state officer selection process.  This task force identified traits and values essential for effective state FFA officers.  The Texas FFA Association adopted changes to the constitution in 2005 that have implemented a new method of selecting state officers in an effort to identify and select members that are adaptable, approachable, creative, dedicated, dependable, effective communicators, genuine, honest, integral, knowledgeable, motivated, polished speakers, respectful, passionate, positive, self-reliant, socially skilled and graceful, team players who represent a complete, well balanced agricultural education/FFA experience.

In an effort to identify officer candidates that possess these traits an interview component has been added to the selection process.  This interview component includes an application, writing sample and behavioral interview process.  This process is only one component in the State Officer Selection process; however, it requires committee members with the highest integrity and a clear understanding of the talents necessary for the state officer role.

The materials included on this site are intended for use in training agricultural educators that have committed to serve as members of the State Officer Selection Interview Committee.
