Minnesota state FFA president joined because of classroom visit

FFA new emblem

 

The Minnesota FFA Convention is underway at the University of Minnesota in St. Paul.

State President Jack Roessler tells Brownfield it was a classroom visit by two FFA officers to his 8th grade English class that made him want to sign up, “They did a power-point presentation on what the FFA is and agricultural education.  That was the reason I joined.”

Roessler, of St. Charles, says he doesn’t come from a farming background.  He describes his ascension to state president as “years in the making” and his interest in leadership led him to serve as a chapter officer for three years followed by two more as a regional officer.

With Convention going on this week, He says he has a lot on his plate, “helping run every single one of the sessions.  Bouncing around, talking to any member I can if I have a little bit of downtime.”

Roessler also helps with getting the awards prepared and has spent weeks preparing for the event.

The Convention ends Tuesday following the election of the 2015-2016 State Officer Team.
