HARRISBURG – Rep. Tina Pickett (R-Bradford/Sullivan/Susquehanna) today welcomed Jenna Harnish of Ulster in the historic chamber of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and congratulated the Athens Area High School graduate on being selected as the 2018-19 Pennsylvania State FFA president.
“We’re very proud that this year’s state FFA president is one of our own,” Pickett said of Harnish. “The duties of state FFA president last for an entire year, and I have no doubt that Jenna will serve to the best of her abilities in promoting the FFA organization and agriculture throughout Pennsylvania and the nation.”
As part of her duties, Harnish will host conferences and visit FFA chapters and chapter banquets throughout the state, in addition to promoting agriculture on a national level by attending the FFA National Convention and The Big E exposition.
She earned the title after competing with 27 other contestants who completed a lengthy evaluation process, which include an application, FFA knowledge test, group challenges and rounds of both pre-written and extemporaneous speeches.
