State Officer Interview – Due to the number of candidates and the limited time available for candidate interviews, the Minnesota FFA Student and Adult Board of Directors have approved a process to evaluate and score each candidate's application and resume. Based on the scores from this round, completed by the adult representatives from the Minnesota FFA Foundation, Minnesota FFA Alumni, Minnesota FFA Adult Board, and the Student Chairpersons – up to eighteen (18) candidates will be selected for interviews prior to the convention. While all candidates will submit the $50 application fee on March 1st, only candidates selected to advance to the interview rounds will have their payment deposited. 100% of the application fee is applied to support the cost of candidate meals and a night of lodging during the selection process. All checks from non-advancing candidates will be destroyed. Advancing candidates must work with their advisors to coordinate convention registration and hotel accommodations for the Sunday and Monday nights of convention.
