INDIANAPOLIS — Winners of the National FFA Creed Speaking Leadership Development Event (LDE) were announced Friday during the sixth session of the 94th National FFA Convention & Expo in Indianapolis. Dr. Kimberly Bellah of Murray State University served as superintendent of the event.
The top four individuals received cash awards to recognize their success in the event. The cash awards and the Creed speaking event are sponsored by Kubota Tractor Corporation.
The National FFA Creed Speaking LDE is designed to recognize outstanding FFA members for their ability to present the National FFA Creed in a competitive setting. Members deliver the Creed from memory and respond to three questions. The event gives FFA members the opportunity to develop their ability to communicate in a powerful, organized and professional manner.
The event, held at the Downtown Indianapolis Marriott in Indianapolis, is one of many educational activities at the National FFA Convention & Expo in which FFA members practice the lessons taught in agricultural education classes.
