Louisiana FFA members recently gathered at McNeese State University to compete in State Leadership Development Events.
To be eligible for competition, members qualified through parish, district and area competitions this fall. The top two students or teams from each area were invited to participate in the state events.
“The benefits received from participating in an LDE include public speaking skills, communication strategies, leadership growth, confidence, memorization skills and teaching strategies,” said Cade LeJeune, executive secretary of the Louisiana FFA Association
