Savannah J. Scott, Matthew Sowcik, and Debra M. Barry
The National FFA Organization was started nearly a century ago by a group of young farmers to prepare future generations to feed the population. Today, the National FFA Organization focuses on premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education. This publication discusses engagement and student involvement at all levels throughout the National FFA Organization through the lens of the four frames in Bolman and Deal’s leadership framework.
