2022 Leadership Development Conference

Registration is now open on 4HOnline for the 2022 Leadership Development Conference (LDC) in Denver!

LDC is a leadership conference for 4-H seniors held in January each year in Denver. Leaders are also invited to attend, and this year there will be a special track at the conference specifically for adult leaders. 

This event provides educational and challenging experiences that will enable young people to become knowledgeable and skilled in their selected areas. Conference highlights usually include a community service project with the Colorado State 4-H Officers, IFYE (International Foreign Youth Exchange) presentation, a guest speaker, banquet and awards presentation, and leader meetings. Members generally have a lot of fun, connect with 4-H members and leaders from across the state, learn, and grow as leaders. 

On Monday, January 31 following LDC, which is Colorado 4-H Day, there will be an opportunity to tour the State Capitol and attend 4-H Day at the Capitol where the legislature will issue the Proclamation for Colorado 4-H Day. 

When: January 29–30, 2022.
4-H Day at the Capitol will follow the conference on January 31, so all members should plan to be in Denver from January 30–31 if possible.
Where: Renaissance Hotel in Denver.
Each room will be assigned to two members of the same gender. Please contact Katie Daywalker after you register if you have a roommate preference. If you wish to have your own room, additional costs will be incurred. Please contact Katie Daywalker if you are interested. 
Cost: The Larimer County 4-H Foundation covers 70% of the cost for members in good standing who have met the 4-H Carnival ticket sales requirement. The estimated cost for these qualifying participants will be $86. Senators and Alternate Senators for Larimer County will have 100% of their fees covered.
Registration: Register at v2.4HOnline.com. You must be enrolled for the 2022 4-H year to register. Registration closes at 10:59 p.m. on  January 12, 2022.
