Albers named Wisconsin State FFA President

Sally Albers of the Sauk Prairie FFA is the new Wisconsin State FFA President.  Albers served as Vice President in 2014-15.  She is an Ag Education major at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.

She looks forward to getting to know the new state officer team and hopes they can grow to be as close as last year’s team.  Albers says this is something she has always thought about and “wanting to be an ag teacher someday, what better place to learn than to visit classrooms all across the state.”

She has two main goals as president: one is to extend Wisconsin’s string of membership growth to 32 consecutive years.  The other goal is to make sure the members of her team are thoroughly trained and prepared when they walk into a classroom; “making sure they can rock a chapter visit giving those members the best experience they can possibly have.”

• Section 1: Madison Colbeth of the Clear Lake FFA, Secretary.
