Awards issued prior to january 20, 2025, were funded under previous administrations and may not reflect the priorities and policies of the current administration.** as the secretary's conference is reconfigured post covid, there is opportunity for IT to engage new youth audiences, more tightly define the outcomes to be achieved, and establish a direction for future conferences. The evaluation process will align with the intent of the planning team and nifa to ensure that conference goals are achievable based upon the content taught and event experiences. Success in year one helps ensure that a foundation is built for successive national 4-h conferences that follow.engagement with the planning committee and nifa will result in a survey evaluation tool that better assesses the goals/outcomes they establish. Reports and syntheses of the evaluation outcomes/recommendations will be models for other learning experiences of similar content and planned outcomes.
