Delegate Information
How are delegates selected?
National 4-H Headquarters/USDA extends an invitation on behalf of the Secretary of Agriculture, to Land Grant Colleges and Universities to send a delegation to the National 4-H Conference. Each state/institution has a process by which it selects delegates to represent their 4-H program at the National 4-H Conference. If you are interested in learning more about becoming a delegate, contact your State/Institution 4-H Program Office.
Registration Forms
Each delegate to the National 4-H Conference will need to be registered for the conference. Delegation coordinators work directly with the National 4-H Conference management team to register their selected delegates for the conference. The following forms are needed for registration:
Completed and signed forms should be returned to the state delegation coordinators/State 4-H Program Office. Delegation Coordinators will process individual registration as part of the state delegation.

2008 DELEGATE HANDBOOK
The delegate handbook is used to help prepare delegates for their experience at National 4-H Conference. The handbook is full of useful information and help tips such as - general information about Washington, DC, dress guide, emergency procedures and much, much more.
In keeping with this year’s environmentally friendly theme, there will be limited copies of the delegate handbook on-site. We ask your cooperation in this effort and ask that delegates bring a copy of the delegate handbook with them to Conference. Or better yet, delegates are encouraged to review the information electronically and/or download a copy to a laptop or flash drive they may bring with them to Conference.
