Know Your Government Project
"DECISION 2012"
The conference focuses on Elections and Party Platforms; won't that be timely in an election year. The dates are February 18th-21st, 2012. Delegates attending the conference will be part of the 4-H KYG Party and will be participating in the 4-H KYG Political Convention. At the political convention, delegates will debate planks submitted in the form of resolutions from each county to be included in the 4-H party platform. Delegates will learn about county candidates in order to elect a 4-H KYG party candidate that they feel best represents the platform. Delegates will share the final platform with legislators at the Legislative Breakfast and elect the KYG candidate after the Legislative Breakfast. This will be another very exciting project to attend!!
