National Officer Q&A
Zach Kinne was named the 07-08 National FFA President
January 2008

Q
What should FFA members know about you and your FFA experiences?
A
I grew up on a registered Angus beef cattle operation in northwest Missouri with my parents, Keith and Shelly, and my younger siblings, Shane and Sadie, and it’s where my beef production and placement supervised agricultural experience program started. Although I went to a very small high school in Eagleville, FFA opened up a world of opportunities for me. From traveling to Washington, D.C., for a leadership conference to competing in the meat evaluation career development event, I could never have imagined the tremendous impact this organization would have on my life.
Q
What advice do you have for FFA members who aspire to be elected to an FFA office – whether it’s at the chapter, regional, state or even national level?
A
First of all, always be yourself – sincere and genuine in everything you do. Also, always look for ways to challenge yourself and develop your leadership abilities. Take advantage of opportunities both inside and outside FFA to gain experience in working in teams, learning new skills, and serving others.
Q
How can members help share the FFA mission, especially as they visit with community leaders during National FFA Week?
A
It is important to remember that in every situation we are always serving as ambassadors for both FFA and agriculture. With that in mind, we need to make sure we are prepared to educate others and are continuously sharing the great story of what this organization is all about. Tell them that FFA develops premier leaders from different backgrounds and prepares students for more than 300 exciting careers in the agriculture industry. Also, sharing your own personal FFA experiences is the absolute best way to help others understand what FFA is all about.
