Brady Revels
Meet the National FFA Southern Region Vice President
September 2008
Serving as the 2007-08 National FFA Southern Region Vice President has been a dream come true for Brady Revels. He’s been involved with agriculture his entire life, growing up on his family’s cattle operation in central Florida and joining FFA in the seventh grade. In fact, this October’s convention will be Brady’s seventh one to attend as an FFA member.
Q What was your favorite part of the national FFA convention as a high school member?
A My favorite part was the time I spent bonding with my chapter. Every night of convention included a trip to Sonic and usually a late night of movies.
Q What new things can we expect at the upcoming national FFA convention?
A Well, it may not be new, but expect to be amazed by the return of the laser light show! We are also excited to see the amazing things FFA members accomplish through career development events and proficiencies, as well as the achievements from the Days of Service.
Q What is the meaning behind the theme, “Step Up. Stand Out”?
A We believe that as agricultural education students and FFA members, it is our duty to step up our leadership in today’s America. In turn, we stand out as leaders among our peers, because we are serving as role models for other students, both those involved with agriculture and those who aren’t.
Q What has been your favorite memory from this year?
A My favorite memory? All of them! I have to say, the time I’ve spent with FFA members just being Brady – not national officer Brady, but just me. Those chances to find out who members really are and see them as a person, not a member – that’s where my favorite memories are.
Q Do you have a favorite motivational quote you live by?
A When we stop comparing and start performing – that’s when leadership happens.
