About Leadership Development Events (LDE's)

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 agriculture, food & natural resources classrooms.
All LDE's have elimination rounds at the district and area levels before the state level competition.  LDE contest occur in the Fall of the school year.

About Career Development Events (CDE's)
Career Development Events build on what is learned in agriculture, food & natural resources classes and encourages members to put their knowledge into practice.  These events are designed to help a member prepare for a career in agriculture by testing and challenging the students' technical, leadership, interpersonal and teamwork skills as well as their knowledge of the subject matter.  CDE's answer the question, "When will I use this knowledge in the real world?"
Many CDE's are qualifying events for the National FFA CDE competition and/or offer scholarship opportunities.
