The 2022-23 National FFA Officer Team will be selected during the 95th National FFA Convention & Expo, electing six new FFA members to serve as the student leaders of the National FFA Organization.
The process to become a national officer is arduous, with the candidates — each state FFA association can submit one individual member annually — taking part in an extensive interview process with the National FFA Officer Nominating Committee. The committee is comprised of students who interview and select the National FFA Officers during each National FFA Convention & Expo.
It takes a highly motivated person to become a successful National FFA Officer—an opportunity afforded to few members. Becoming a national officer requires members to learn about their passions and gain a better understanding of what life as a national officer is like. The life of a national officer is nonstop hard work and never-ending commitments, but it is a life-changing experience — one they will cherish forever.
Thirty-five candidates vied for national office during Phase 1 of the selection process. The 2022-23 candidates advancing to Phase 2 are (listed in alphabetical order by state):
| Will Aycock | Alabama |
