About
The Arkansas FFA Association was chartered in 1928, the same year as the National FFA Organization. Arkansas FFA functions within the constitution of the National FFA Organization, but has also created individual leadership structures, awards, programs and competitions.
Arkansas FFA State Officers lead the membership of the state association and are elected by state FFA convention delegates. Local FFA Chapters are chartered through the state associations.
