2016 Centennial Delegates - National 4-H Congress
The Kansas 4-H Centennial Delegates were added in 2002 when National 4-H celebrated 4-H’s centennial year. Kansas 4-H has permitted each Extension Unit to send one at-large delegate to National 4-H Congress. These at-large positions are called Centennial Delegates. Cost for the Centennial delegate will be the full amount of approximately $1,150.00 (no registration grant is offered). The selection criteria and process for the 4-H Centennial Delegate is entirely up to the Extension Unit. To be eligible, delegates MUST:
- Have never before attended National 4-H Congress
- Be enrolled in Kansas 4-H
- Have a genuine desire to attend National 4-H Congress
- Be available to attend 2016 National 4-H Congress in its entirety from Nov 25 - Nov 29, 2016
- Be at least 14 years old but not yet 19 years old before January 1, 2016
- Remain committed to attending 2016 National 4-H Congress once they accept the trip
- Agree to the follow the prescribed code of conduct, realizing failure to do so may result in the loss of privileges during the event and/or in the future
Participating Extension Units will need to notify the State 4-H Office on or before May 15, 2016, along with providing the non-refundable $100.00 deposit and nomination form for the delegate. To help with planning, remember that the Standard of Excellence representatives to Congress will be named immediately following the May 1 deadline and if their name is not drawn, can be re-nominated as a Centennial delegate.
