The purpose of Fall Forum is the annual meeting of the Wisconsin State 4-H Adult Leader Council (ALC) and Wisconsin State 4-H Youth Leader Council (YLC). The Fall Forum is a living demonstration of youth adult partnerships at their highest level.
Each county has one adult delegate that serves on ALC. In addition, ALC has provided the opportunity for one youth delegate from a county to attend Fall Forum. Other attendees include current ALC Board members, current YLC members and invited YLC candidates. Information Guideline on Wisconsin State 4-H Adult Leader Council can provide county organizations assistance in selection of delegates.
Each of the 72 Wisconsin counties selects at least one adult and one youth 4-H volunteer to actively participate in Fall Forum. The adult volunteer delegates are considered the members of the Wisconsin 4-H Adult Leader Council with a one year term and this serving as their annual meeting. The Forum provides volunteers the opportunity to learn, teach, network, and discuss critical issues and initiatives with the 4-H Youth Development program area on policies and direction affecting Wisconsin 4-H. Volunteers practice and demonstrate youth adult partnerships at the highest level through this experience. The experience involves adult 4-H volunteers that are members of the Wisconsin State 4-H Adult Leader Council Board (ALC) and the Wisconsin State 4-H Youth Leader Council (YLC). These volunteer leaders are selected through a statewide process to provide leadership and support for all 4-H volunteers.
Fall Forum gives each county the opportunity to have a voice in the future of Wisconsin 4-H. Let your voice be heard through attending this year's Fall Forum. During business meetings, ALC will select the ALC Board member and YLC votes on new YLC members.
Fall Forum is made available by two grants and a nominal registration fee from all participants. Thank you to our grantors of the Wisconsin 4-H Foundation and Monsanto for their generous contributions to make this event possible.
