2025 Kansas FFA Delegate Information
Thank you for representing your chapter as a delegate at the 97th Kansas FFA Convention. The delegate process is the heart of our event. Since 1928, Kansas FFA members have met and made decisions on behalf of their chapter, because the Kansas FFA Association is a student led organization. On this page you will find state officer candidate information, including introductions and their applications, and more.

Nominating Committee Information
According to the Kansas FFA Constitution, “The State FFA President shall appoint the chair of the nominating committee from the immediate past state officer team, who will facilitate the functions of the committee. The committee will consist of three immediate past state officers, three former state officers, two industry representatives, two designees of the KAAE president, the state FFA executive secretary or his or her designee, and the state FFA advisor or his or her designee.”
The nominating committee’s responsibility is to learn each candidate’s strengths, personality, interests and desire to serve. While using the selection process to get to know each candidate individually, the committee scores candidates on a variety of traits to build a final slate of six officers. The committee’s desire is for all candidates to focus on being themselves throughout the process. Those who serve on the nominating committee recognize all individuals have both strengths and areas for growth. The goal is to select a team of officers expressing a full range of talents and strengths.
