National 4-H Conference

Delegates meet in consulting groups to discuss plans for 4-H and the Cooperative Extension System, as well as officials from federal agencies and the National 4-H Council. Their recommendations will go to all the states, national leaders, and others involved in determining 4-H programs. Idaho’s delegates also meet with the state’s elected representatives at the Capitol.
