National Conference

Saturday, March 24 - Thursday March 29, 2012

The National 4-H Conference is an annual event headquartered at the 4-H Center in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Events at the conference take place in the greater Washington D.C. area however the bulk of our time is spent at the 4-H Center or the Capital Mall.

National Conference is an opportunity for 4-H members to network and gain ideas from 4-H’ers around the country. Although a wide range of programming may be presented the primary idea behind National 4-H Conference is promoting civic engagement. At the National 4-H Conference delegates discuss a variety of topics and ideas while visiting sites vital to our country’s history and development.

Oregon will mostly likey send four delegates to the National 4-H Conference depending on funds. It is important to note that this is not an “honorary trip” like National Congress. Delegates should be sincere about sharing what they learn with others in their region and the state of Oregon.

Applications must be physically at the State office Oct. 31, 2011
