Responsible

| Membership: |
|
Members
(termed Directors) consist of youth, adult volunteers, chairpersons
of standing committees, Extension Educators from the University of Minnesota
Extension, and representatives of the Center for 4-H Youth Development.
The responsibility of a Director is to represent their Extension District
while serving as an active member in the decision-making and program implementation.
Terms are for three years. |
| Representation: |
|
The
University of Minnesota Extension has divided the state into five Extension
Districts - Northwest, Northeast, Central, Southwest, and Southeast.
The bylaws allow for two youth and three adult representatives from each
district. |
| Meetings: |
|
There
are three regular meetings a year (spring, summer, and fall). The
fall meeting is considered the "Annual Meeting" for selection purposes.
The spring and fall meetings are held at the St. Paul Campus of the University
of Minnesota-usually on Saturdays. The summer meeting is usually
in June at a location determined by the MSDP Development Committee. |
| Selection: |
|
Applications
from youth, adult volunteers, and Extension Educators submitted to the
Center for 4-H Youth Development are forwarded to the MSDP Chair.
Regular selections are made at the Annual Meeting. Because of the
staggered terms, there is always one "opening" each year. Selection
is based on qualifications and project involvement. |
