FFA Officers to Attend State Convention This Sum-
mer—This year, once again, Meagan Coberley will be
an FFA Foundation Ambassador. She will serve as a
senior FFA Ambassador and a team mentor. Foundation
Ambassadors serve as “face-to-face” hosts for special
guests, sponsors, and dignitaries on behalf of the Texas
FFA during the largest youth-led convention in Texas.
Candidates apply through a competitive application
process, with emphasis on FFA involvement, individual
accomplishments, and community service. Ambassadors
receive extensive training to prepare them for their week
of service. Each student Ambassador is assigned to a
“VIP,” serving as their respective agricultural science/
FFA host for the week. In addition, the Ambassadors
have a unique opportunity of experiencing firsthand the
behind-the-scene complexities of convention week.
As a mentor, it is her job to help the junior ambassadors.
Last year Meagan was host to McCoy’s Building Supply
and Luminant Power. “Last year I helped to set up spon-
sor booths on the show floor. I took my sponsors backstage so that they could be announced to the audience on the convention floor.
Whatever the sponsors needed done or whatever they had questions about, we took care of their needs,” says Meagan. She will find
out who her VIP will be when she arrives at convention this year.
Others attending the state convention will be next year’s officers who, along with Meagan, are Erin Zeringue, Shelby Williams,
Cody Vance, Landon Dorner, and Tyler Raine. Tyler will also be participating in the FFA Rodeo while there. He will be doing calf
roping and team roping. Tyler will do team roping with Cole Mitchell from Como-Pickton FFA. If Tyler wins an event, he will re-
ceive a scholarship. Students will be attending general sessions where they will play a part in selecting state officers and national
officer candidates. They will hear keynote speakers and attend a concert and FFA Fun Night where they will vote for talent teams.
They will also attend the rodeo. Pictured above l-r Meagan Coberley, Cody Vance, Landon Dorner, Tyler Raine, Shelby Williams. (Erin Zeringue not available for photo.)
