National Officer Q&A
Morgan Parker, National FFA Central Region V.P.
May 2008
Hailing from Limon, Colo., Morgan Parker has had a very unique FFA experience. As a high school sophomore, he became a charter member of the Limon FFA Chapter. In his chapter’s inaugural year, he served as an officer and planned the annual banquet. And now, a few short years later, he’s your national central region vice president.
Q: What was the most challenging part of starting a brand-new FFA chapter?
A: Explaining agricultural education and FFA to people who had never heard of it was difficult, especially when I didn’t know a whole lot myself! Working together with other students, community supporters and school administration made the chartering possible – we are so fortunate!
Q: Do you have any tips that could help any chapter increase membership – whether it’s a fairly new chapter or one that’s been around for many years?
A: Growing membership is about showing students that FFA is fun and valuable. Whether it’s chapter trips, scholarships, career development events, career possibilities, or leadership and communication skills gained, FFA has something to offer everyone. Don’t be afraid to think outside of the box. Something new and exciting is always great!
Q: Why do you think the H.O. Sargent Award is such an important part of the FFA awards program?
A: The H.O. Sargent Award program recognizes that FFA members are unique and rewards those who create opportunities for all the members and promote diversity within their communities. Learning from and working with people who are different from us helps us all grow and strengthen our organization!
Q: What are some of your favorite summer activities?
A: Summer is meant for county fairs, lake trips, iced coffee, and hanging out with friends and family!
