What is the symbol for the Secretary's role?

The symbol for the Secretary's role is the ear of corn. This emblematic choice represents the importance of agriculture, which is a fundamental aspect of FFA and its mission. The ear of corn signifies the foundation of the organization's commitment to the agricultural industry and the skills necessary for success within it.

In the context of FFA, the Secretary plays a crucial role in maintaining records and ensuring that meetings run smoothly, symbolized by the ear of corn's connotations of growth and nourishment, much like the Secretary supports the growth of each meeting and the organization as a whole.

The other symbols listed, such as the bust of George Washington, the rising sun, and shaking hands, carry their own meanings within the FFA context but do not specifically represent the role of Secretary. The bust of George Washington signifies leadership and founding principles, the rising sun symbolizes hope and new beginnings, while shaking hands represent friendship and cooperation. Each of these has its own relevance but none capture the essence of the Secretary's role as well as the ear of corn does.
