4-H Volunteer Leaders Participate in Multistate Forum

Twenty-six Alabama volunteer leaders, regional agents and state 4-H staffers recently attended the 38th annual Southern Regional Volunteer Forum at the 4-H Rock Eagle Center in Eatonton, Ga. The Alabama delegation joined more than 650 4-H volunteer leaders from 13 Southeastern states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands at the forum.

Attending from Alabama were Nancy Alexander, Patricia Bryant, Donald and Kathey Claborn, Karen Engelman, Candie Glover, Kim Good, Betty Gottler, Addie Green, Harriett Hall, Walter Harris, Cheryl Holbrook, Lindsay Kimbro, Cynthia Knowlton, Natasha Marable, Joy Maxwell, Jan Mims, Nekia Moore, Carolyn Moseley, David Perry, Christyn Sells, James Shropshire, Debra Stabler, Shirley Walker, Dorothy Washington and Kristen Wilson.

Volunteers attended workshops and fun shops and listened to motivational speakers who gave them opportunities to use and apply their youth development knowledge. Upon returning to Alabama, they will be sharing their newly acquired knowledge, skills and revived excitement with other volunteers as they serve youth and families in their communities.
