Which of the following is an example of a Leadership Development Event (LDE)?

A Public Speaking Competition is an example of a Leadership Development Event (LDE) because it focuses on enhancing students' communication skills, confidence, and ability to articulate ideas clearly. These competitions often involve presenting a speech on a topic relevant to agriculture, leadership, or community issues, which encourages participants to develop their public speaking and leadership abilities.

Leadership Development Events are designed specifically to foster personal growth and leadership skills, enabling students to become more effective leaders within their FFA chapters and communities. In contrast, options like Field Day and Agricultural Show are more focused on showcasing agricultural skills and practices, while a Career Fair emphasizes employment opportunities, rather than directly developing leadership qualities.
