Who was the first female National FFA President?

Jan Eberly holds the distinction of being the first female National FFA President, serving from 1982 to 1983. Her election was a significant milestone in FFA history, marking a shift in the organization's inclusivity and the increasing roles of women in agricultural leadership. Eberly's presidency paved the way for future generations of female leaders within FFA, demonstrating that women could hold high offices in organizations that had historically been male-dominated.

The other individuals listed, while significant in their contributions to the FFA, did not hold the title of the first female president. For example, Debbie Jennings and Pam Farmer have also made important contributions to FFA, but not as the first female president. Breanna Holbert, the first African American female president, has certainly made her mark but came after Jan Eberly's historic term. Jan Eberly’s leadership is recognized for breaking barriers and inspiring many young women in agriculture and leadership roles within the organization.
