Highlights
Salute to Excellence
Volunteers are, undeniably, the "heart and soul" of 4-H, and in an age when time is at a premium, Salute to Excellence serves as an opportunity to acknowledge our volunteers' unwavering dedication to the 4-H Youth Development movement.
Each year, state 4-H programs are invited to nominate two outstanding individual volunteers, one in each of two categories. The Lifetime Volunteer Award is given to an individual who has spent 10 or more years volunteering for 4-H. The Volunteer of the Year Award is given to an individual who has volunteered for 4-H less than 10 years. Recipients of the 4-H Salute to Excellence Volunteer Recognition Awards are chosen from nominees submitted by state 4-H offices
The Wisconsin State Adult Leader Council is working in cooperation with Greg Hutchins, State 4-H Youth Development Program Leader and the Strengthening 4-H Clubs Work Team to solicit nominations and provide a review process for selection of these prestigious awards.
For selection purposes at the State level, please submit the completed  2008
Salute To Excellence Application Nominations must be submitted
