Oklahoma Leadership Development Event (LDE) Greenhand FFA Practice Test

Which officer role is not traditionally part of the main FFA leadership structure but can be elected?

1. President

2. Chaplain

3. Reporter

4. Advisor

The correct answer is: Chaplain

The role of Chaplain is not traditionally considered a core part of the main leadership structure within the FFA, which typically includes positions like President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Reporter, and Sentinel. While the main officers focus on executing essential organizational duties and representing the chapter's interests, the Chaplain’s responsibility is more specific, often centered on spiritual guidance, leading invocations, or offering blessings for meetings and events. Although the Chaplain can indeed be elected by the members and serve an important function, it falls outside the primary leadership roles that are usually emphasized in FFA chapters. The other roles—President, Reporter, and Advisor—are standard positions that play crucial parts in the chapter's operations and representation at various levels. Thus, recognizing the unique nature of the Chaplain role helps to clarify why it is viewed as an additional, yet not required, leadership position in the FFA's structure.
