FFA is a Career and Technical Student Organization, which means it is a student-led organization at the local, state, and national levels. Every year, a nomination committee made up of students and community members interview candidates and select the Capitol FFA Chapter Officer Team. These officers then plan and execute all of the events (meetings, fundraisers, community service activities, etc.) with the help of advisors.
