Club Officers

Congratulations on being a 4-H Club Officer! This is a great opportunity for you in your 4-H club. Now that you have been elected as an officer, you, and all other officers of your 4-H club are representatives. Your skills, abilities, standards, ideals, speech and personal presentation represent all Kansas 4-H members. Representing others is one of your most important responsibilities because it exists at all times— not just while you are at 4-H events.

As an officer, you will manage the planning, leadership and carrying out of your club‘s programs and business. You will be a guardian and decision maker of the club‘s legal, financial, social and educational responsibilities. Officers are responsible for ensuring that the club is inclusive and welcomes all 4-H members and youth in your community!

Officer responsibilities:

  • Learn and act upon the duties of your office
  • Be an active member of the officer team
  • Attend an officer training if available
  • Attend officer executive meetings
  • Attend club meetings and activities
  • Lead planning meetings and events
  • Give your opinion on issues
  • Listen to what others have to say on issues
  • Actively represent 4-H in your community
  • Let the 4-H organizational volunteer leader know if you are not able to attend the meeting
