Know Your Government Conference

Washington State Capitol Bldg.

Decision 2008!

Olympia, WA
February 16-19, 2008


Vision Statement: The 4-H Know Your Government Conference empowers youth and adults to engage in leadership, citizenship and life skill development and application. 

Mission statement:  The 4-H Know Your Government Conference serves to strengthen the connection between youth and our political and governmental process through education, experience, application and inspiration.

Decision 2008 is the focus of Washington State 4-H Know Your Government Conference in Olympia, February 16-19, 2008. This year, participants will explore political parties and the nomination process.  Through pre-conference orientation, participants will learn about different political parties and the development of resolutions that support planks that together produce a party platform. On Wednesday, January 23, 7-9pm, county delegations will present their candidate and platform planks at a Statewide Virtual Community Caucus. Each county will have approximately 3 minutes to present their planks as best identifying the concerns and issues of 4-H youth across the State, and persuade other counties to adopt these planks to form the Statewide 4-H platform at the conference in Olympia. Planks will be categorized in eight areas: education, immigration, election reform, environment, health care, energy, security & safety and economy and presented at the end of the broadcast. County candidates will be introduced for the first time highlighting the beginning of their campaign.
