Dear 4-H Youth Delegates:

Participants share their knowledge, exchange ideas and information, and have the chance to develop and enhance their leadership skills. Each attendee is expected to participate fully.

Registration is accepted on a first come, first served basis. Each county is allotted 15 youth delegate spaces. The Conference fee is $165 which includes room and board on Friday and Saturday, all three meals on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday; the cost is $175 if you would like to purchase a conference T-shirt. You must complete the following forms and turn them in to your county office to reserve your spot at the conference by November 20, 2015:

Many leadership opportunities exist both before and during the Conference. If you are interested in assuming a leadership position before the Conference you may enjoy being your county contact.

Suggested orientation topics will be sent to you if you check the space on your registration form. You also will be the main contact from the Conference to your county if your county delegates have any questions or if the C.A.L. staff needs to contact your county. Please indicate your interest on your registration form. You can contact Elizabeth E. lqecon@pacbell.net for more information.

 

Another leadership opportunity available is serving as a cabin leader. We ask that all cabin leaders have attended C.A.L. Conference at least one previous C.A.L.

As a cabin leader you will be responsible for ensuring everyone in your cabin gets to know each other, is aware of each day's events and are on time to all activities. If you are interested in a cabin leader role please indicate it on your registration form. There will be a training held for this position on January 2, 2016 10:30am to noon in Fairfield at the UCCE office. You can contact: Camilla T. at mycamibear@gmail.com or Jesse O. at jesseosman23@gmail.com for more information.

We hope that you are excited about the Conference and that you consider accepting a leadership role. Thanks in advance for being a part of this innovative Conference. We know that you will benefit and have much to share upon returning to your own county and club.
