Nominating Committee

Nominating Committee Purpose

The Granite State FFA's State Officer Team is selected from a dynamic pool of candidates by equally impressive students representing the Granite State FFA members in every chapter. These Nominating Committee members spend several days together throughout the spring preparing to interview and then slate the next team of officers.

Selection of the nominating committee is a critical first step in the state officer selection process. To ensure that the nominating committee is qualified to interview and evaluate the next year's state FFA officer candidates, a Nominating Committee member selection process has been established to guide the selection and conduct of the nominating committee to ensure that the nominating committee is prepared for the task of interviewing and evaluating the state officer candidates.

As a student committee, the nominating committee has the responsibility to interview and evaluate the state FFA officer candidates. The student members of the nominating committee will be overseen by the nominating committee superintendent and may be joined by adult committee members who represent different stakeholder groups (alumni, the Foundation, Farm Bureau, etc). The process can be demanding for the committee members, as they will typically work long hours over several days. Members are strongly encouraged to arrive at the commencement of the process fully prepared and rested.
