The commemorative pin is cool, but I bet folks will be looking for Missouri member to trade for our pins because they rock!

Check the comments for a sneak peak! The best way to make sure you can get your hands on one is to register and attend the conference!

Shout out to Miss Mariann Wright from Lincoln University for designing this special edition pin and to the Missouri Conference Marketing and Promotions Committee and Emily Bergsieker for running the 4-H Tote Bag fundraising for the funds to provide the pins!

Join the State Relations team at our welcome event on Monday, October 26 from 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm.

Summer is starting to wind down, but excitement is growing as we get closer to the NAE4-HYDP Conference that we have the honor of hosting in Kansas City October 27-29.

Looking toward that event, we need some feedback from you, our members, so that we can make plans for States’ Night Out during the conference.

Please help us with that planning by completing the 2026 NAE4-HYDP Conference Survey by August 25th. We would love those planning to attend as well as those who will not be attending to respond to the survey.
