Marissa Randel, member of Kansas 4-H Youth Council was the next proponent. She provided the Committee with some background information on 4-H. She said her experience in 4-H has impacted her life in many ways. Ms. Randel said 4-H taught her many life skills including responsibility, time management and public speaking. She said it also gave her the opportunity to travel to Washington D.C. on two occasions on behalf of 4-H. She concluded by saying the Kansas 4-H license plate will allow Kansans to show their support and appreciation for all 4-H has offered while generating needed funds to continue to grow the program.
