Below is the 2008 National 4-H Congress Design Team Application. All applications are due to your state 4-H Office by December 20, 2007.

Each application must be accompanied by:

An introductory letter

A 2-page resume including a brief summary of the individual's 4-H background and what they can contribute to the team.

A one page statement of the individual's philosophy of leadership.

A video lasting no more than five minutes introducing the applicant to the selection Committee. The video should be a standard 1/2" VHS video/CD/DVD and does not need to be of professional quality.

The individuals who have been selected in the past exhibited high levels of creativity not technical expertise.  The tape is used to get a sense of the young person's personality and ability to present themselves, not their ability to play a videographer.

Those selected must be available to attend the Winter Design Meeting and the 2008 National 4-H Congress in Atlanta.  The 4-H member will be responsible for travel and meal expenses for the winter planning meeting.  National 4-H Congress will cover lodging, travel, and meal expenses for the event in November.
