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.
