PURPOSE

The role of the county 4-H project committees is to provide overall leadership to specific project areas and their related events and activities.

COMMITTEE MEMBERS

The members of the project committees are volunteer adults and youth, including project leaders and parents or other adults who may or may not be associated with the 4-H program but have an interest in the particular project area or who can serve as a resource.

A minimum of three members will make up each committee. Committees will be led by a chair, chair-elect, and secretary who will each serve a one-year term. The chair-elect will move into the role of chair and each year a new chair-elect and secretary will be selected. After holding a leadership role (except chair-elect), an individual must wait two years before assuming another leadership role.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Committees are strongly encouraged to provide at least one event or activity each year. In some cases, the event is predetermined (i.e., Clothing Revue, Foods Revue). Additional events are welcome.
