In 2012, with the continuous broadening of the interests and activities of the National 4-H History Preservation Program it was felt that some of the most relevant on-going projects should be structured under the umbrella of the Leadership Team as Development (or working) Teams. This will help us better manage the program priorities and progress in a more organized fashion. Additionally, it will allow for better use of a broader group of interested volunteers and show the responsibilities of the various teams.

It is fully recognized that while the leadership team and other consultant contributors are all volunteers, we do not all have the same amounts of time we can contribute to the history program. It is imperative that we utilize our volunteers in ways that they can be most useful, as well as in the areas where they have the most interest and expertise. Some volunteers may do research; others may become writers or reviewers, while others may help man history booths at events or perform other team tasks. The chairmen of any of these teams may feel free to add additional members to their respective teams as appropriate.
