As we approach 4-H Congress, the 4-H Portfolios for Citizenship and
Leadership have been judged. This year marked a major change in the
presentation of the 4-Her’s project record. The electronic webpage to
present the project accomplishments is quite a contrast to the old 4-H
Record Book that I remember.
Since I am a senior citizen and completed my 4-H “Record Book” back
in the late 1960’s, many changes have taken place. The old record book
could easily pass for a scrapbook; generally, more the better. Some of
you will recall the laborious National Report Form. Then with my chil-
dren, we completed the 305 forms and the project record sheets.
Next, we moved on to portfolios to have a greater relevance to prepar-
ing for the workforce. This year, the electronic webpage portfolio was a new adventure in reporting
project work. I particularly enjoyed reading the “Showcase” section. This is a tremendous oppor-
tunity for 4-Hers to highlight the great work they do in their projects. Even with the new applica-
tion process, portfolio submissions were up 18%! This is also a testament to the support agents
give 4-Hers in developing and completing 4-H projects.
A lot of work went into developing this process. Our staff has learned a lot, too. I can assure you
this webpage portfolio will be evaluated more to make it an efficient and useful tool for Tennessee
4-H.

The bills and resolution to be used in the Know Your Government program at State
4-H Congress have been posted to the website. They can be found at https://4h.tennessee.edu/Pages/
stcong/nourgov.aspx. The Know Your Government program is always one of the highlights of State 4-H

they actually vote on the bills and resolution.
There are resources to help delegates prepare for this mock legislative session. There is also a link al-
lowing you to print the bills from the website. Special thanks go to the Eastern Region and Western Re-
gion offices for their efforts in developing the bills and resolution.
Brown / Gilliam Family Legacy Award Applications
Due March 8 Ryan Hensley, Executive Director, TN 4-H Foundation
Thanks to the generosity of George and June Brown of Coffee County, the Brown/Gillam Family Legacy
Award Endowment was established to give much deserved recognition to 4-H families who have demon-
strated consistent leadership, service and involvement in 4-H on the country, region and state levels
across several generations.
The Award is to be presented to a family in which three generations or more have participated in the
4-H Program. A family may receive the state recognition only one time. The award recipient is to be
selected based on the following criteria:
Participation of family members in the 4-H Program - 50%
Participation, volunteerism and volunteer leadership at the county level - 30%
Participation, volunteerism and volunteer leadership at the regional and state level - 20%
There is a very simple application that consists of a one-page family story and a statement of recommen-
dation from a county Extension agent from the nominating county. The selected family will be recog-
nized at Tennessee 4-H Congress. The county which nominated the selected family will be awarded a
$250 prize that will be transferred to a 4-H Foundation account of their choosing.
