Officer Responsibilities and Guidelines 2016-2017
Officers will be expected to perform their duties as outlined in the FFA manual. All officers will have major responsibilities in the planning and implementing of activities for our chapter. If we are to have a successful year, then we must have officers willing to work, enthusiastic, and organized.
As an officer I understand the responsibility and the magnitude of being a FFA officer in the Groom FFA Chapter. Furthermore, I accept this responsibility and will dedicate my time, talents, and efforts to this chapter and its activities. I realize that the success of our chapter depends upon its officers and their willingness to work, plan, organize, and attend chapter activities. I am also responsible for the acquiring official FFA dress. Furthermore, I realize that in order to attend and participate in activates that I will be responsible for keeping at least a 2.5 GPA and for staying eligible in all my classes.
Officers should lead by example. You should plan on being the most active members of our chapter, including involvement on judging teams, speeches, livestock projects, fairs, conventions, leadership workshops, camps, FFA week activities, community projects and school events, etc.
Officers should develop a mission statement for their team and their chapter members. Then work hard toward that goal. Officers should develop a plan of activities for the year. Things just don’t happen. They must be planned, sometimes, months in advance. Being an officer is not just a title, it is a responsibility to the chapter, to the members and to yourself.
Most of all be supportive to each other. Help out the treasurer during the meat sale. Lend a hand to the reporter in preparing the blog. Everyone can help take pictures and help with signs, bulletin boards, etc. Remember that we can all make a positive difference. If we are united, that difference will be overwhelming.
