FFA Officer Feature | Sophie Weber, Secretary

Sophie Weber, a junior, serves as the secretary of the EMF FFA Chapter, playing a key role in keeping the organization organized and running efficiently. As secretary, Weber is responsible for taking detailed notes at each meeting, recording important information, and ensuring chapter records are accurate. Her work helps meetings run smoothly and allows the chapter to stay organized throughout the year.


Weber chose to be an FFA officer because of her strong passion for agriculture and a desire to build responsibility for her future. “I wanted to become a FFA officer because agriculture is something I am very passionate about. Holding this role also teaches me responsibility for my future,” she said.


What Weber values most about FFA is the life skills it provides. “The thing I love most about being in FFA is the amount of life skills I learn. I have learned social skills that no other activity would have been able to teach me,” Weber shared. Through her role as secretary, she continues to grow personally while supporting the success of the EMF FFA Chapter.

Weber’s decision to become an FFA officer came from a genuine passion for leadership and a deep appreciation for what FFA has meant in her life. “I became an FFA officer because I love to lead and FFA has changed my life in so many ways,” Weber said.

What stands out most to Weber is the strong sense of community it provides. “FFA has provided me with a strong community and so many opportunities for me to learn and grow as an individual,” Weber shared. Through leadership, teamwork, and hands-on experiences, Weber continues to make a positive impact on the EMF FFA Chapter while growing personally and preparing for future opportunities.
