Leon County 4-Her serves as Texas 4-H Officer

During the Texas 4-H Summer Council Training in Lubbock, Texas July 19-22 Leon County 4-Her Will Mahaffey was chosen to serve as an officer for the Texas 4-H Council in 2008. This marks the first time a Leon County 4-H member has been elected to this level of representation. The 4-H Council is a body of 33 young people elected to fill the highest positions young people can attain in the 4-H organization in a state. Being a State 4-H Council member is often seen as the pinnacle of a young person's 4-H career. Council members plan retreats, conferences, and camps for the 4-H members that they represent and are responsible for industry contacts and public appearances representing the state organization. They receive opportunities that are not available to other 4-H members, such as travel, networking, and leadership training. 4-H members spend many years in preparation to run for one of these coveted positions.
