Nominating Committee Member Application

Nominating Committee Member

State FFA Application
Application Information
Six nominating committee members (two representing each of the three regions of the state) meet throughout the State FFA Convention in May with state officer candidates to determine who will be placed on the slate of officers for the upcoming year.

Serving on the nominating committee requires dedication and will be a rewarding experience for you. During the State Convention, committee members work one on one with the candidates, learning their personal strengths and qualifications for state office, in order to select the next year's officer team. Nominating Committee members must participate in a webinar one week prior to the state FFA convention, be in communication with the adult coordinator, and be present for a 12:30 p.m. orientation meeting on the first day of the State FFA Convention. If you are interested in serving on the Nominating Committee at the NJ State FFA Convention please fill out the form below and mail it to the Office of Agricultural Education by March 15.

*The Nominating Committee Applicant must be listed as a chapter delegate and may be contacted by the Office of Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources Education.

**Submitting an application will not guarantee your service on the nominating committee.
