Building on the 'Basics': When someone asks you "What is 4-H?", what is your answer? Most of us have very different answers or find 4-H very hard to define. Through a hands-on approach this workshop explores the core competencies that are so important to 4-H as well as the 'Learn To Do By Doing' experiential learning model. We will also discuss volunteer motivation, communication and respectful dialogue.
Building Opportunities: Talk about opportunities at the regional level and beyond. You will learn what opportunities are available to 4-H members and leaders, what competencies they aim to develop and tips on how to get your members [or leaders] to attend!
Building your Association: You will identify your association's strengths and weaknesses and share with other associations your successful strategies.

Building FUNds: In this workshop you will gain insight into developing a marketing strategy for your 4-H Association. We will also discuss promotion, communication, relationship management, workload distribution and setting targets.
