Vice - President

Welcome to 4-H Officer Training Week, February 21 - 27! Each day of Officer Training Week will focus on one topic or officer position. Check your email or social media daily for new information.

The position of Vice President enables you to connect with friends, fellow members, advisors, parents, and your community. Vice Presidents function as the oversight and support person for committees within your club and have the job of ensuring tasks are getting accomplished at the committee level.
