Highlights
4-H Charter and Renewal Process
4-H Clubs must have a 4-H charter. The 4-H Charter formally recognizes a group's affiliation with 4-H and grants the group permission to use the 4-H Name and Emblem. It provides the permission for the 4-H club to be a subsidiary of National 4-H Headquarters and eligibility for federal tax exemption status. All 4-H groups and committees that use the 4-H Name and Emblem and handle finances and have a checkbook must be chartered. This includes accepting donations and fundraising.
: All 4-H clubs must be chartered. Each year 4-H clubs must renew this charter. These two packets are to be used by volunteer organizational leaders and submitted to the UW-Extension office and 4-H Youth Development Staff. The annual charter renewal is due December 1.

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 Donna Menart, Interim 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  2010
Salute To Excellence Nomination Form Nominations must be submitted
to Donna Menart no later than October 10. Applications must be complete in order to be considered. Please submit applications electronically. Criteria
and more information is located at Salute
to Excellence Volunteer Recognition Awards. Do not submit applications at this website. Wisconsin has a process for selection for state awardees and submission for regional consideration. Wisconsin awardees are recognized at the Annual Fall Forum.
