Running for District Office

 

Are you between the ages of 14-18 and have been in 4-H for at least three years?  Then you meet the qualifications for being a district officer.  All 4-H members who meet the above criteria have the opportunity to run for office.  You will compete against youth from 17 other counties in the SE District.  If elected you will serve for a year and have the opportunity to organize and present workshops at events such as Winter Fling, Teen Retreat, and even 4-H Congress.  

Before you run we encourage you to read over the officer responsibilities for each position and determine which one you are best suited for.  Also go through the checklist with your 4-H Agent and at home with your families to make sure they are able to support you if you are elected in this role.  You can find that documentation here:  District Officer Responsibilities and Checklist

If you decide to run you will need to fill out a nomination form and return it electronically to Ms Shea Ann (sadejarn@ncsu.edu) prior to March 14 (in other words by the close of business on March 13).  She will upload it to a special district folder and make the agent advisors aware that the nomination form is there.  To read more about the process please click this link.

If you have any questions about this opportunity or would like to talk more about it please contact Shea Ann DeJarnette at (910) 671-3276 or sadejarn@ncsu.edu
