Otsego County Leadership Council

Have you ever wondered how the countywide events are decided on, created and run?  

The Otsego County 4-H Leadership Council meets monthly to discuss, plan and evaluate county programs, budget, and events. 

Who should attend?

Council meetings are open for all 4-H leaders, members, and parents. This is a great time to express your thoughts on any countywide program and event. All 4-H Certified (Active) Volunteer Adult Leaders and 4-H members (14 years and older) are voting members and are invited to attend monthly council meetings. Teens are encouraged to attend and express their thoughts about 4-H events and activities!

How can you join the Council?

Election of Council Officers are held bi-annually at the September Leadership Council meeting. All 4-H members, aged 14-19, and Certified Volunteer Adult Leaders are invited to hold an office. 

Contact Liv Fox, the Otsego County 4-H Program Coordinator to learn more about joining.
