At the conclusion of the 97th National FFA Convention & Expo held last month, a new group of six student leaders were elected to serve over one million FFA members nationwide. Among them was East Troy’s very own Mary Schrieber, who was elected to serve for the upcoming year as the National FFA Central Region Vice President.
She is just one of nine Wisconsin FFA members to ever be elected to National FFA Office and the first member from East Troy FFA to do so.
The National FFA Organization is the largest youth-led organization in the country and consists of 1,027,273 members in 9,235 chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
In her role as a National FFA Officer, Schrieber will travel the country meeting with student members, alumni and supporters, government officials, and agriculture industry leaders to promote the mission of FFA to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success.
Schrieber will deliver speeches, host workshops, attend state FFA conventions, and meet with sponsors of the FFA. She will also work closely with the National FFA Board of Directors to make changes to ensure a bright future for the National FFA Organization.
