MN FFA's Nominating Committee Selection Process uses the following priorities and guidelines:

1) All selected committee members will come from chapters in good standing with the state association and will be active FFA members.

2) The nominating committee will consist of one student representative from each region in addition to adult representatives and two past state officer co-chairs selected from the state at large.

3) In order to represent MN FFA students of all backgrounds, the selection committee will work to build a nominating committee that balances the different perspectives and experiences of MN FFA members (age, gender, race, chapter/community type, types of experiences, etc) while selecting students who possess the maturity, independence and perspective to be able to make strong decisions for the association.

4) Regional appointments to the nominating committee members will not come from chapters that have state officer candidates in this year's selection process. No student can serve consecutive years on the committee. Special consideration will be given to students representing chapters that have not recently had a member serve on the nominating committee.
