All counties were instructed that they were to charge $10 per 4-H club member per year as a program development fee. These funds were to be retained by each county and were to be used, at the 4-H agents’ discretion, for support at the county level for 4-H programming - travel, materials, trips, leader training, curriculum purchases, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>This year, we find it necessary to raise the fee to $15.00, and the extra $5.00 will be sent to our office to help pay for the new online enrollment program that we are purchasing from Texas. These funds will be used to provide training and support to county staff, offer updates to the program and add future enhancements like fair management. There will also be ongoing costs associated with this program, particularly as we look at future enhancements. We anticipate in the future that we may have to hire someone to compile this data and manage it for our annual state 4-H enrollment report, provide support for counties, train new personnel, manage credit card reconciliations to allow online payment, and compile data for our federal 4-H enrollment report. The enrollment data in this system will also allow us to do some analysis to learn more about our members, enrollment trends, and areas of interest that should be enhanced. 4-H enrollment data can be a rich research resource.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Most of the enrollment support is being provided by Curt Peters and Susan Pater - currently on top of their assigned duties.
