Who We Are

Board of Directors

The Indiana 4-H Foundation is governed by members of the Board of Directors who represent different industries and areas of the state. Board membership is voluntary and each potential board member is screened by the current board before commencing a term of service. Although our Board members lead very different lives, they all share a passion for Indiana 4-H. Their love for the Indiana 4-H program guides them to make decisions that are in its best interest and the best interest of current and future generations of Indiana 4-H members.
