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 a workshop entitled "This is 4-H". Along with the activities for the members, a leader tract was offered for the adults in attendance. The leader tract addressed several different issues that leaders in the county face. The program began with a presentation about the 4-H program in general. It covered the different parts of the 4-H program, 4-H events throughout the year, and opportunties available to both members and leaders. The presentation was helpful because several leaders in attendance were new to the program and appreciated the introduction. Some of the more experienced leaders also appreciated the presentation because they were not fully aware of the programs available through 4-H that they don't normally particpate in. The next portion of the program was a round table discussion led by one of the leaders. Leaders had the opportunity to discuss their frustrations, what they like, what they don't like, and get feed back from other leaders. Leaders then developed a plan of what they would like to see from the program and what type of support they would like to receive from the agents. The leaders tract was very successful. There were 20 leaders in attendance. of those 20 leaders alomost half were brand new and 5 were organizational leaders in charge of their own clubs. Evaluations showed that participants were very satisfied with the program and would like to see more activities like this one. In the future the agents plan to provide programs geared specifically to certain types of leaders. ie: new leaders, organizational leaders, project leaders.
