FFA reorganizes Iowa district for better regional representation
At the Southeast Iowa FFA District convention in Keota four new subdistrict vice presidents were elected to balance representation. Also elected were district officers and state-advancing winners in speech, team events, proficiency awards, and community service entries from multiple chapters across the district.
