Leadership Development Events (LDEs) are just one way students can plug into FFA. LDEs help students develop skills in communication, decision making, and public speaking. Last week two students participated in the Sub-Area Prepared Public Speaking Event at Screven County High School. Both students chose an ag-related topic they were interested in and presented their speech to a panel of judges. Emily Stephens researched Mental Health in Farmers and Karina Munoz-Cerro researched Agribusiness. Both Tigers represented FFA and The DEN well! #collegecareercommunityready #TheDEN
