As state officers, the team is responsible for planning and implementing leadership development opportunities for the 2,500 FFA members in the 54 chapters that are spread throughout the state of Maryland.

“The state officer team represents all five regions of the state this year,” said Terrie Shank, executive director of the Maryland FFA Association. “They are committed to serve as officers, and have experienced virtual learning firsthand, which will allow them to better relate with the members in an online environment. I know they appreciate the total team effort that it will take throughout this year to provide leadership activities and programs for the local members.”
