This is a listing of all the major activities scheduled for state officers for the coming year. Please notice the number of officers involved in each activity. Attempts are made to balance the participation of officers so the days of involvement are similar for all.

While we try to work with conflicts, we need to have the commitment of the state officers throughout their year of service. College activities, including involvement in Greek houses, must be secondary to the commitment to FFA activities.
