WHO WE ARE

We are a group of 4-H extension professionals that have a passion for 4-H Shooting Sports. The committee is made up of up to four 4-H Program Leaders who act as Co-Chairs of the committee. We also have two representatives from each of the four National Extension Regions and two 1890 Institution representatives. The committee also has hired a program coordinator to help with the day to day business with the committee, and a social media assistant to help with outreach.
