4-H Salute to Excellence Application Available
Volunteers are, undeniably, the "heart and soul" of 4-H, and in an age when time is at a premium, 4-H Salute to Excellence serves as an opportunity to acknowledge 4-H volunteers' unwavering dedication to the 4-H Youth Development movement.
Each year, state 4-H programs are invited to nominate two outstanding individual volunteers, one in each of two categories. The Lifetime Volunteer Award is given to an individual who has spent 10 or more years volunteering for 4-H. The Volunteer of the Year Award is given to an individual who has volunteered for 4-H less than 10 years. Recipients of the 4-H Salute to Excellence Volunteer Recognition Awards are chosen from nominees submitted by state 4-H offices.
The 2007 application has been released and can be viewed here. If you know of a deserving volunteer, please contact your state office to determine the process for submitting a nomination.
The 2006 winners, Volunteer of the Year Linda Sullivan of Delaware and Outstanding Lifetime Volunteer Pat Stackhouse of Montana, will be recognized October 5, 2007 at National 4-H Council.
For more information about the 4-H Salute to Excellence program, please contact Arletta Gustafson, National 4-H Council, at agustafson@fourhcouncil.edu.
