4-H Know Your Government
Conference 2010
“Constructing a Platform — Bill by Bill”


February 13–16, 2010, Olympia

 

The Know Your Government (KYG) Conference serves to strengthen the connection between youth and our
political and social networks through education, experience, application, and inspiration. This connection will motivate delegates to be participants in democracy. This year youth will delve into the inner workings of
the legislative system. Delegates will learn about the legislative process, roles, and how to write a bill using the Revised Code of Washington (RC W). By participating in the process to pass bills, they will also learn parliamentary procedure, negotiation, and persuasive speaking skills.
