National FFA Elects 2026-27 Officer Team

The National FFA Organization has elected six student leaders to guide the organization over the next year. The officers were selected Saturday during the 99th National FFA Convention and Expo in Indianapolis. Josie Jennings of Ohio was elected national president, while Cameron Addington of Minnesota will serve as national secretary. The four regional vice presidents are Joshua Nelson of Idaho for the western region, Jazmin Palma of North Carolina for the southern region, Teagan Erbele of North Dakota for the central region, and Aiden Manley of Kentucky for the eastern region. The team was chosen from 41 candidates following an extensive interview process, with delegates voting to select the six national officers. During their year of service, the officers will work with agricultural businesses, educators, government officials, and FFA members nationwide. They’ll also lead leadership development programs and help establish policies guiding the organization’s future.
