The National FFA Creed Speaking Leadership Development Event (LDE) was held at the Marriott Downtown Indianapolis in Indianapolis, IN on Wednesday, November 1. Forty-nine individuals participated in this National FFA Creed Speaking LDE. Mr. Greg Beard served as superintendent of the event.
Representing Iowa in this National Event was Zoey Hamilton, member of the Central Trail FFA of Leon, IA. Zoey was accompanied to this event by her parents, Ryan & Lacy Richardson, sister Gracie Richardson and brother Cody Richardson.
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 National FFA Creed Event was sponsored by CHS Foundation, Harris – A Lincoln Electric Company, and Tractor Supply Company.
