Treasurer

Malerie Scammey 

Hey ya'll! I'm Malerie Scammey and I will be serving as your 2023-2024 Orange County FFA Federation Treasurer this year! 

I am a Senior at East River High School where I serve as the Chapter President. I also currently serve as the Florida FFA District 7 President and District 7 Sub-district 1 Chair! This coming year I plan on running for Florida FFA State Office.

This is my second year serving on the Federation team and I am super excited! In my four years in FFA, I have had many chances to better the future of agriculture. I have competed in a couple of CDE's, my favorites of which being Floriculture and Livestock Judging. I also have many current SAE projects, one of my more recent ones being the breeding and selling of show cavy! I cannot wait to meet and serve each and every one of you this year! Let's make it a good one and make our mark!! 

Why did I join FFA?

I first joined FFA in 8th grade for the soul purpose of showing chickens. Little did I know that my Advisor that year had big plans for me. From visting the State Capitol to chapter meetings and even joining the Floriculture team, my love for FFA grew. Now I see that FFA is so much more then showing, it's a place to learn and to grow into the best version of yourself. Above all, FFA is a gigantic family full of the future leaders of agriculture.

Livestock

One of my biggest passions is showing livestock. I have shown commercial laying hens, cavy,  purebred poultry and a steer. In this upcoming year I will also be showing my market lamb Finn!

I will say that my favorite animal to show so far is cavy. I currently have a multitude of cavy ranging in breeds. Although, I am always willing to try bigger and harder projects and will always try new and difficult things.

I find that showing livestock is the greatest way to meet new members from across the state and to learn amazing things about our industry. No matter what animal you raise, we all can learn some crucial life skills from these projects.

AGvocate

This word has quickly became one of my favorite words these past couple years. It's a way to show your support and love for a specific industry, organization, or all of the above! It's also an easy phrase to remember and a short hashtag to use on any related posts. 

I feel that advocating for the agriculture industries is one of the most important things you can do to better your community! With FFA being the future, we are able to make choices and solve problems that will forever change the way things are done!

One of the many ways I love to AGvocate is by being your 2024 Orange County Miss United States Agriculture Queen. This pageant is much more than a crown and a title, it's an initiative to support agriculture in everyway possible.

So with all that said, I cannot wait to see all the different ways that you will AGvocate for the organization and local industries in the upcoming year!

Dance

One of my favorite things in the world is dance. I have been involved in dance for 12 years. Starting in the studio, then the competition level, and then to my high school dance team. I have done almost every style, but Lyrical will always be my absolute favorite.

By far, I love the high school team the most. From the Friday Night Lights to Showcase to pep rallies, it is such an enjoyable time that nothing can beat.
