Being a 4-H Club officer is a very rewarding responsibility that must be taken seriously. Advisors and fellow 4-H Club members count on the officers to take their role seriously. For starters, club officers need to participate in the officer training. The dates for officer training in Paulding County are:
President and Vice President – November 16th from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm via ZOOM
Secretary – November 23rd from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm via ZOOM
Treasurer – November 19th from 7:30 to 8:30 pm via ZOOM
News Reporter – November 19th from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm via ZOOM
Health Officer – November 16th from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm via ZOOM
Safety Officer – November 23rd from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm via ZOOM
Recreation Officer – November 24th from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm via ZOOM
Once training is complete, it is critical that officers create their plan for completing their responsibilities and attend all of the club’s meetings in order to lead the club in the right direction. The officer team must be willing to meet with the advisors before each club meeting to discuss the topics of the meeting and ensure that all officers are prepared for the meeting. If you are not able to attend one of the scheduled meetings, contact should be made well in advance with your advisors as well as the other officers of your club so planning for your absence can take place.
The 4-H Officer positions of Secretary and Treasurer have additional responsibilities of keeping accurate records for the 4-H club. Officer books for these positions are required to be completed and turned in the first week of August every year. This allows for an informal audit to take place as well as the grading of these officer books.
If you have questions about the officer positions or what is required of them, please contact your club advisor or Michael. You should have all of your questions about an officer position answered BEFORE your club’s election. The links below will take you to videos that have been produced that explain the roles of each 4-H Club Officer position.
