District 9 4-H Leader College - Sneak Peek

The District 9 4-H Leader College Committee has met and here is a sneak peek into the plans for the August 14, 2010 event.

The plan is to host the event in the Huntsville area.  Kristi Titzman is providing leadership for finding a location.

We are adding a 4-H Officer Training to the agenda.
The District 9 4-H Council Officers will host workshops in the afternoon to prepare 4-H club officers for their upcoming role.  Some counties may see this as a substitute for county level officer training, but more likely you will see this as an opportunity to send your county council officers and have them glean information for a club officer training at home.  Either way, this is going to be a youth teaching youth activity.  The District 9 Council Officers will be leading these sessions.

Topics we plan to offer include:
Fashion Story Board
Leaders 4 Life
Consumer Decision Making
Healthy Lifestyles Sweepstakes
FCS (food and fashion) Community Service
Share the Fun
Dog Project
Rabbits
Poultry
Meat Science
Entomology
4-H Connect for you (focused on Club Managers)
Nuts and Bolts of Recordbooks
4-H Opportunity Scholarship
Wildlife Skill-a-thon

If you have a passion for one of these topics and would like to volunteer your services, let us know.  The committee asks that you also start talking about the event early.  The goal is 200 or more leaders in 2010 at the event.

Any other ideas to make this event even more successful are welcome.  Feel free to post them here.
