Leadership Workshops

| Junior Leadership, Projects, Workshops |

On behalf of Katie Daywalker:

I am excited to be offering the first of a series of Leadership workshops this year on Monday, November 29th from 6:00–8:00 p.m. at The Ranch in collaboration with Kara Rudnick.

These workshops are for any 4-H youth who are interested in Leadership. We will encourage participation in the Leadership project, but it is not required. We especially encourage club officers to join us to help them grow as leaders.

This first workshop will focus on exploring what leadership is, discuss the principles of leadership, and share leadership opportunities in 4-H at various levels, including an overview of the leadership project.

Please register and plan to attend: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0a4fabab2baafc1-4hleadership

Beef Seminar / October 15, 2021

Members may be beginning to look for their new beef project animal for this upcoming year. For members that are in this project or have an interest in this project, I encourage you to attend the Starting the Year Off Right seminar that I will be hosting on CSU’s campus in Room 161 the Animal Science Building, 350 West Pitkin Street in Fort Collins, on Friday, October 15th from 6:30–8:00 p.m. Members can park in the Animals Science Parking Lot, or the parking lot in front of the general services building just to the East of Animal Sciences, for free. Members can also use spaces in the parking garages but must pay to park there. 

The objective of this seminar is to assist members of all ages within the program. We will discuss the importance of setting goals, facilities, outlining a budget, project endpoint requirements, and evaluating calves to create a positive experience.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions I can help with.
