Florida 4-H Executive Board

The Florida 4-H Executive Board is the programming body of the Florida 4-H Council. It is comprised of four (4) delegates from each of the 13 4-H districts, up to 30 Appointees, and the eight (8) state officers.

Throughout the year, there are three (3) Executive Board Weekends that allow members to come together to plan and support statewide programs while build lasting relationships with one another. For more information on these weekend events, click on Executive Board Weekends below.

Executive Board applications are due the Friday directly after 4-H University. All information regarding applications and being an Executive Board member can be found below.

  • Becoming an Executive Board Member

    Each year, the 13 4-H Districts select up to four (4) Executive Board delegates to represent the voice and interests of their district on the statewide programming board. Any youth, regardless of being elected, can also apply for one (1) of the 30 appointed positions. The applications for these positions are reviewed by the state officer team and are decided upon based on the needs of the Executive Board.

    For full information on the responsibilities of an Executive Board member, you can click on the following link to access the Florida 4-H Executive Board Information Packet.

    We recognize that there is a lot of information to process in the packet above. To help answer any questions you have, we will have a live Q+A session on Facebook @florida4h on Thursday July 10, 2025 at 7:00PM ET/6:00PM CT. No registration required. You should be able to access without a Facebook account. 

    Applications will only be accepted through the online form. You can access by clicking the link below. A sample application is included in the Executive Board Information Packet, linked above, to help you prepare.

    Executive Board Application (ufl.qualtrics.edu) — includes two essay questions for appointed applicants and ranking of preferred committees for district delegates and appointed applicants.

    All applications for district delegates and Executive Board appointees must be submitted by 11:59PM on August 1.

    Once your application is submitted online, your county 4-H professional will receive an email to confirm your application. Your application is not considered complete until their approval is received, so make sure to follow up with them. 

    If you are interested in becoming a member but not quite ready to make the commitment yet, check out the information below for our open Executive Board. This weekend is open to ALL seniors to immerse themselves in all things Executive Board.
