| Impact Report | Santa Fe County has a very strong base of 4-H leaders. The agents provide continual support to these leaders on a daily basis. This year one of the programs offered for 4-H members was an organizational leaders training held in February. Every organizational leader of a 4-H club within the county was asked to attend this day long training developed by the 4-H Ag agent and the 4-H Home Economist. The first portion of the training was dedicated to reviewing the current state and county policies and procedures for 4-H clubs. Also addressed in this portion was the new procedures for acquiring a club charter, using the 4-H name and emblem, and procedures for registering for an EIN number and reporting to the IRS. The second portion of the training was used to address the issues that many organizational leaders have within their clubs. Some of the topics discussed included learning how to identify leaders within your club, recognizing and prioritizing needs, delegating responsibility, and utilizing outside resources. Hands- on activities along with round table discussion were used to deliver the material. 100% of the organizational leaders received the information from the training. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the highest, the average overall score given by the leaders for the training was a 9.3. In general the leaders all felt the training was very useful and agreed that an annual training similar in nature would be very well received. |
