HR 1022: 4-H day at the state capitol; 02/26/26; 2025-2026 4-H leadership teams and award recipients; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any Georgia law. Instead, it formally recognizes February 26, 2026, as 4-H day at the state capitol and commends a long list of young people and adult volunteers involved in Georgia's 4-H youth program for their leadership and achievements during the 2025-2026 program year. The resolution names the State 4-H President, the State 4-H Leader, district presidents, national conference delegates, and winners of several awards, including the Leadership in Action award, the Deans Awards, the William H. Booth Award, the Ryles Rising Star Award, and volunteer recognitions. It directs the Clerk of the House to make copies available to the public and press.

• Designates February 26, 2026, as 4-H day at the state capitol.
• Commends the State 4-H President and State 4-H Leader/Director of 4-H by name for their service.
• Recognizes 2025-2026 4-H district presidents, national conference delegates, and multiple statewide award winners and volunteers.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.

The resolution names specific 4-H members, district presidents, volunteers, and University of Georgia Cooperative Extension staff from counties across Georgia, along with the Clerk of the House, who must prepare copies for distribution.

While the resolution carries no legal or funding changes, it gives official state recognition to Georgia's 4-H youth leadership program and its members, and sets aside a specific day for 4-H representatives to be honored at the state capitol.

• The resolution's whereas clauses list individual 4-H leaders, district presidents, award winners, and volunteers being honored for the 2025-2026 program year.
• The resolved clause formally commends these named individuals and designates February 26, 2026, as 4-H day at the state capitol.
• A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House to make copies available to the public and the press.
