Yesterday, Atlee Brinker shared about her experience as an Ohio delegate at National 4-H Conference during the Columbiana County Commissioners meeting. Atlee traveled to Washington D.C with 4 other delegates from Ohio to learn about the impacts that they can have on government and roles they can play in the future of the world. Atlee also shared about her recent trip to the Ohio Statehouse with a group of other 4-H teens. We are very proud of our youth, their interest to be engaged and the exploration of new opportunities.
