It’s a big celebration and 4-H Alberta is looking for help.

The Western Regional Leaders’ Forum will be held in Edmonton on March 16-17, 2017, as part of 4-H Alberta’s centennial celebrations.

“While this conference may seem a long ways away, it really isn’t,” said Fadeke Adegbuyi, 4-H communications and marketing assistant with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry.

The organization “is looking for enthusiastic individuals to help plan this three-day event,” she said.

“2017 will mark the first time the conference has been held outside of the United States, and we intend to show attendees a fabulous time that will make their first trip to Canada for this conference a memorable one.”

The conference brings together 4-H leaders and staff from Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, Nevada, California, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Hawaii, Alaska, and Alberta.

The events committee is looking for people to chair several organizing committees.

“The committee is interested in people who have, perhaps, attended a previous Western Regional Leaders’ Forum or a 4-H Alberta Leaders’ Conference, and who have a keen interest in getting involved in this event,” said Adegbuyi.
