About Our President

I’m Evelynn Courneya, and this is my second year in FFA! I’ve participated in two LDEs and one CDE, placing finals for CCM (Conduct of Chapters) and Dairy Cattle Evaluation. Before moving to Michigan, I was devoted to the Yelm FFA chapter and was awarded Star Greenhand for my efforts. My first year in FFA was an eye-opening experience, I saw the dedication and commitment people in my chapter had to win, and I wanted to thrive and win, myself. I want to give back to FFA because my old chapter and advisors were incredibly supportive and empathic about the dilemmas transpiring in my life. I struggled a lot and FFA gave me a home, a place to feel welcome throughout my differences. FFA has made me want to grow and achieve more than I already have, and it has become a big part of my life in a short amount of time. I wish to compete at nationals, but also, bring people into this organization because FFA teaches you numerous essential skills that will assist you in navigating life.
