Request for Workshop Proposals
In thinking ahead to 2010, I wanted to share with you that the 2010 Washington/Idaho State 4-H Forum committee has posted the workshop proposal cover letter and proposal form to our official website at: http://4h.wsu.edu/2010LeadersForum/proposals.html. 

Proposals are due by March 15 and can be submitted utilizing the proposal form found on the referenced website.  This forum will provide a unique opportunity for Washington and Idaho faculty, staff and volunteers to share their knowledge and expertise with 350-400 colleagues throughout our 2-state region, and gain new perspectives as well.  We look forward to having a large turnout for this innovative approach in multi-state educational programming, October 15-17 in Spokane Valley, Washington.
