Overview      

Leadership Development Events focus on creating situations for members to demonstrate their abilities in public speaking, decision making, communication and their knowledge of agriculture and the FFA organization. Team and individual events are used to reinforce what is taught in agricultural science classrooms.

All LDE events have elimination rounds at the district and area before the state level competition. Please refer to your district and area calendars for competition dates.

  State LDE Service Project
     

This year’s service project brings a fun, competition-style twist! Each area will have a designated section at Gibbs Ranch to collect donations, and the area gathering the most items will be recognized.

We are seeking donations of basic hygiene items, including shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, body soap, feminine products, dental floss, nail clippers, hair gel, and hairspray. The final count will be tallied just before the Finals Awards on Saturday at 5 pm.

This year, our project will benefit SAAFE House and the Good Shepherd Mission in Huntsville.
