The Leadership of the National Collegiate 4-H Organization

Collegiate 4-H is divided into various levels of leadership. Each individual club is responsible for their own leadership. The country is divided into 4 regions: Northeast, North Central, Southern, and Western states. Each region has their own set of officers, regional conference, and possible regional activities and projects. At the national level, the National Action Board is responsible for the communication for our organization between regions and national committees contribute towards providing resources, opportunities and expansion for our organization at all levels.

National Action Board

The National Action Board is the leadership body of the National Collegiate 4-H Organization. It is composed of the presidents of each of the four regions, the national conference coordinator, the NAB Secretary, the NAB Business manager, advisors, committee liaisons, and the immediate past president of each region.
At the 2006 National Collegiate 4-H Conference, NAB expanded from a 7 person team to a 11+ member team to increase continuity within the organization’s national leadership and provide more unique voice.
