Elizabeth Rose Horne, daughter of Drs. Jeffrey and Ann Horne of Norman Park, was elected to serve as South Region state vice president at the state FFA convention recently.

Her position will let her interact with leaders in the agricultural community as well as middle and high school FFA members around the state. As a state FFA officer, she will be trained extensively in public speaking, delivering workshops, and interacting with leaders. Horne will travel all year long and make visits to FFA chapters around the state of Georgia. She will also serve as a delegate for Georgia at the National FFA Convention.

The election process began with a daylong series of interviews that allowed Horne to speak before the delegates and over 5,000 attendees and in turn to be elected to serve on the officer team.
