After a process of interviews, a test, and speeches, Makena Blalock achieved her goal of becoming the 2024-2025 Georgia FFA State Secretary at the 96th Georgia FFA Convention!🎉
State Officers are elected at the State FFA Convention to serve the 80,000+ FFA members across the state of Georgia.

Makena says, "I am beyond excited to serve some of the best kids in the state of Georgia! I will embrace every single moment as an FFA State Officer. I hope to leave a legacy of love, joy, and laughter for Georgia FFA members."
