Hello Indiana FFA! I am Kaitlyn Maruszewski and I am overwhelmed with joy to be serving as your 2025-2026 Indiana FFA State President! I am from the Tri-Central FFA chapter in District V. I have been an FFA member for four years and have competed in many career and leadership development events with Horticulture and Public Speaking being a few of my favorites! I am also a bit of a plant nerd owning over 300 house plants! I am able to exercise this passion through my supervised agricultural experience: a business called bykaitlyndesigns. I am a 3rd generation FFA member and my roots in agriculture run deep. Outside of FFA and agriculture, I love hiking, spending time with friends and family, Disney, and traveling! I am so excited for the year ahead and cannot wait to meet so many Indiana FFA members!
Hello hello hello, Indiana FFA!
My name is Lauren Argotte, and my cup is truly overflowing with joy as I begin this incredible journey as your Indiana FFA State Secretary! I proudly call the Lebanon FFA Chapter in District IV my home, but I can’t wait to see all the amazing places this year takes us.
My adventure in the corduroy blue jacket began in 8th grade when my wonderful ag teacher, Mrs. Lindsey Bradway, encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and compete in my very first contest. Ever since, it’s been a journey filled with love, laughter, and LOTS of learning!
I absolutely love ALL things agricultural communications and cannot wait to hear and share your stories throughout this year!
When I’m not in the ag room or at an FFA event, you can usually find me baking something sweet, embroidering, or on a sunrise/sunset walks with my friends and family.
My heart is so full, Indiana FFA. I’m beyond excited to make the most beautiful memories with all of you this year.
With joy,
Lauren Argotte
Hello Indiana FFA! My name is Erianna Vela, and I am eternally grateful to serve as your 2025-2026 State Northern Region Vice President! I hail from the Prairie Heights FFA Chapter in District III and I reside in the small town of Orland, IN. Being a first-generation FFA member and someone who didn’t grow up around the wonderful ideals and values of agricultural life, my passion for agriculture started my freshman year as I was finding my footing through FFA. This year, it is my goal to serve as a role model for those with a similar background to mine and build a lasting connection with each member I meet. Outside of this organization, you may find me bugging my four brothers, arm-in-arm with my best friends Elizabeth and Kylee, cuddling with my sweet doggy Willow, or at church events, growing my relationship with the Lord. I’m looking forward to meeting you all! See you soon!
Hello Indiana FFA! My name is Calvin Myers, and I am truly honored to serve as your 2025–2026 Indiana FFA State Southern Region Vice President. I proudly represent the Bloomfield FFA Chapter in District VII and come from the small town of Bloomfield, Indiana a place where agriculture, faith, and community mean everything.
Growing up, I’ve had the opportunity to be involved with livestock, which has taught me the value of hard work, responsibility, and dedication. My time in FFA has helped me grow not only as an agriculturalist but as a leader. From serving as a chapter and district officer to participating in events and helping younger members find their place, I’ve discovered a passion for servant leadership and encouraging others to chase their full potential.
Outside of FFA, I enjoy fishing, playing sports, volunteering with my church, and spending time with the people who’ve supported me most my family, friends, and hometown community. My journey has been shaped by the people who poured into me, and I’m excited to spend this year giving back through leadership, service, and faith.
One verse that guides me is John 13:34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” As State Officer, I hope to reflect that love through encouragement, kindness, and connection.
Whether I meet you at the FFA Pavilion during the State Fair, at a conference this fall, or in your ag classroom, I can not wait to hear your story and help you grow in yours. Let’s make this a year full of impact, connection, and unforgettable memories. Let’s go, Indiana FFA!
