Monday 2026-11-09

TWIN FALLS, ID — The College of Southern Idaho (CSI) would like to congratulate 2026 CSI graduate, Joshua Nelson for his selection as a National Future Farmers of America (FFA) Officer, in the role of Western Region Vice President.

Each year, the National FFA organization selects six student members to serve as national officers, representing the organization and its members at local, state, national and international levels. During their year of service, national officers represent student membership in meetings with the National FFA Board of Directors, facilitate leadership workshops, deliver motivational speeches and serve as advocates for FFA on a global scale. 

“We are very proud of Josh and congratulate him on this outstanding achievement,” said CSI President, Dr. L. Dean Fisher. “We are especially proud to see him recognized at the national level just a few short months after successfully completing his degree here at CSI. We look forward to following his journey and the impact he will make in this role.”

Nelson, a member of the Troy, Idaho chapter, attended the Idaho State FFA Leadership Conference held annually at CSI, and it was there where he decided to attend CSI after high school. During his time at CSI, he served as an Idaho State FFA Officer, and as a member of Ag Club, all while working toward his Associate of Arts degree in Criminal Justice, graduating in July of 2026.
