Clay Sapp of Florida was National FFA President in 2012–13. The clearest public trace of his year is not a biography but a memory: in FFA’s 2021 officer Q&A, 2020–21 President Doster Harper named Sapp’s retiring address at the 86th National FFA Convention & Expo as the moment he will never forget.
The Retiring Address
Harper recalls that Sapp took the audience into what he called his little world
and asked what they were doing for others. Harper says the words stopped him in his tracks and inspired him to look for ways to serve people every day afterward. This is one past president’s memory of another’s speech; this site did not find the text of the speech itself.
