Leaderama - Moose Jaw

Gain new ideas, new motivation and new inspiration to take back to your 4-H club and kick off your 4-H year!

This year, we are trying a new format for Leaderama – we are coming to you! Instead of having one big conference in Saskatoon, we will be hosting two smaller conferences – one in the North East region and the other in the South West. In 2018, Leaderama will then go to the North West and South East, before coming back to a large conference in Saskatoon in 2019.

We are excited to come to your communities to give you the opportunity to learn, share and network with fellow 4-H leaders. This one-day event will give leaders new motivation and skills to take back to their clubs and prepare them for their roles as positive community leaders in their local 4-H clubs.

Leaders will take part in sessions together, as well as separately. Leaders will be asked to give their preference for the sessions when registering.
