Get ready to sharpen your leadership skills and connect with fellow 4-H members from across the county at our upcoming Officer Training Day! Whether you’re stepping into a new officer role or just curious about what it takes, this event is your chance to:

You don’t have to be an incoming officer to attend—everyone is welcome! However, don’t wait—we need at least 15 participants to make this event a success. All participants must RSVP by Monday, November 3rd. And yes, we’ll wrap up the day with a delicious pizza lunch to celebrate your hard work and new connections!
