SANDOVAL COUNTY

NEW MEXICO

October 6—October 12, 2019

The officers elected for this year include Evan Webster, president from Union County, Helena Ramirez, vice president from Hidalgo County, Taylor Moore, secretary from Sandoval County, Alyssa McAlister, treasurer from Roosevelt County, Kaitlyn Kircher, parliamentarian from Roosevelt County, McKenzie Luna, reporter from Sierra County, and Randy Halvorsen, song and recreation leader from Dona Ana County.

The state 4-H officers started off their year of service with an orientation and a leadership ex-perience in Washington, D.C., in July. The New Mexico Department of Agriculture sponsored this opportunity, which allows them to meet with legislative bodies and speak to U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture officials.

Throughout the year, the officers will be planning and conducting various leadership events including the youth get-away for the junior and novice 4-H students. This event is held in April in Glorieta, New Mexico, and is intended to expose younger members to the array of opportuni-ties that 4-H has to offer. The officers also will play a large role in planning and running sessions at the 2020 New Mex-ico State 4-H Conference.

Congratulations to all the New Mexico State 4-H Officers!
