PCM Diamond Trail FFA has elected a new team of officers to lead the organization throughout the 25-26 school year.

The former 24-25 officers were Rebecca DeVries (President), Rylee DeHaai (Vice President), Seriah Nolin (Secretary), Johnathan Swan (Treasurer), Gretchen Uitermarkt (Reporter), and Meredith Chipps (Sentinel). The team consisted of four seniors, with four juniors replacing them for the upcoming year. The newly elected officers are Gretchen Uitermarkt (President), Seriah Nolin (Vice President), Carter Dudley (Secretary), Wade Uitermarkt (Treasurer), Tristen Valcore (Reporter), and Kailyn Padget (Sentinel). Next year’s seniors on the officer team will be Gretchen Uitermarkt, Seriah Nolin, Carter Dudley, and Tristen Valcore.
President Gretchen Uitermarkt, Vice President Seriah Nolin, and Secretary Carter Dudley shared their thoughts on their FFA experience. When asked about the best part of FFA, Nolin responded, “For me, it’s the experiences I get, like going to National Convention and just random fun trips we’ve been on.” As Vice President, Nolin’s role is to “help Gretchen make decisions on meetings and just help the chapter overall.”
President Gretchen Uitermarkt added, “The best part of FFA for me is being able to hang out with all my friends.” As President, Uitermarkt’s role is to call meetings to order and take care of the business during the meetings.
Finally, Secretary Carter Dudley shared that the best part of FFA for him is the contests that they have the opportunity to take part in. He enjoys being able to learn through them and having lots of fun as well. As Secretary, his main role is to “take notes during the chapter meetings,” Dudley stated.
Being an FFA Officer is a huge accomplishment and an impressive role to take on. These students have displayed creativity, leadership, and dedication towards the entire FFA chapter. The community looks forward to seeing how these new officers will display their new role as next year comes around.
