Leadership Development Events

Leadership Development Events (LDEs) help students develop the abilities to think critically, communicate clearly and perform effectively in a competitive job market. Some events allow students to compete as individuals, while others allow them to compete in teams. For more information find a specific event below and contact your FFA Chapter Advisor about how to get involved. Iowa FFA Leadership Development Events are made possible with support from the Iowa FFA Foundation.
