The primary goal of Leadership Development Events is to develop individual responsibilities, foster teamwork, and promote communication while recognizing the value of ethical competition and individual achievement. Leadership development events reflect instruction that currently takes place in the entire agricultural education program, including classroom instruction, laboratory instruction and student’s supervised agricultural experiences. LDE's are intended to be an outgrowth and extension of instruction.

The Wisconsin Association of FFA makes seven available events for Wisconsin FFA members to participate in. These seven competitions include: Creed Speaking, Prepared Public Speaking, Extemporaneous Public Speaking, Parliamentary Procedure, Discussion Meet, Quiz Bowl and Employment Skills.
