What is the role of the FFA National Advisor?

The role of the FFA National Advisor is to provide guidance and support for the organization's activities, policies, and programs. This position is vital as the National Advisor acts as a link between the National FFA Organization and its members. They help ensure that the mission and goals of FFA are upheld and provide strategic direction. The National Advisor also works to advance agricultural education and is involved in developing programs that foster member engagement and leadership skills.

In contrast, managing local chapters and their activities is typically the responsibility of chapter advisors or local leadership rather than the national level. Overseeing financial budgets and donations generally falls to financial officers and committees dedicated to financial oversight, rather than the National Advisor. Organizing national competitions is usually handled by national staff and committees specifically set to manage such events, rather than being a direct responsibility of the National Advisor.
