Policy Advisory Committee
The Policy Advisory Committee is comprised of a representative and diverse group of youth, volunteers, and staff who discuss policy issues related to the California 4-H Youth Development Program. The committee:
- Examines policy issues to determine if new or revised policies are needed
- Drafts recommendations for policies
- Identifies appropriate review for policy changes
The committee makes recommendations to Shannon Dogan, Associate Director of 4-H Program & Policy, sjdogan@ucdavis.edu and the ANR Administrative Policy Coordinator, who will take the recommendations to the appropriate decision-making body.
The committee also provides leadership and guidance regarding implementation of new or revised policies. This includes:
- Developing a plan and timeline for implementation and follow-up
- Developing FAQ sheets and other supporting documents
- Providing training on policy and processes
Meeting Dates and Times:
| State 4-H YDP Office, UC Davis-TBD |
*Additional conference calls may be scheduled, when issues arise that cannot wait until the next scheduled meeting.
Open recruitment for committee membership takes place every spring. 4-H members, recent alumni, 4-H adult volunteers, 4-H YDP program partners and collaborators, and county 4-H YDP staff are invited to apply.
