Area III FFA Officer interviews were held March 4, 2019, at the La Plata School. These interviews are held each March to select the new Area officers for the upcoming year. There are 10 officers selected to fill these positions from the 24 area schools. Interviewing for the Putnam County FFA Chapter was junior Tony B.

The selection process has 3 parts: an interview, an FFA Knowledge quiz, and scoring of each students FFA leadership page. All candidates are interviewed one time in front of area delegates and advisors. Following the first round of interviews, the delegates vote to help select the final ten who will get officer positions. After ranking of all the students based on their knowledge, leadership and interviews scores, the top ten are selected to be area officers. Those students then complete the second round of interviews to determine what student gets what office.

At the conclusion of the night, Tony was selected to be the Area III FFA President for the 2019-2020 school year. He will attend all area functions throughout next year and be responsible for helping to organize and conduct Area III FFA activities. Tony is the son of Clyde and Martine of Unionville. Also attending for Putnam County were two delegates, Kaitlyn R and Maggie F; current Area FFA Officer Whitney R, and FFA advisors Clyde Bondy and Randy Morris.

Congratulations, Tony B! Tony is the second Area III President from Putnam County FFA in the past two years!
