PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES EXPRESS VIEWS ON ROLE OF PRESIDENT "What is the role of State 4 H Council president as you see it? This question was put to each of the three candidates for the presidency Wednesday. Here are their responses: Jane Bates: The State Council president should be a good citizen, have a pleasing personality and have the ability to preside over State Council meetings effi ciently. She should be of service in any way possible to 4-H Clubs throughout the state. She should constantly strive to live up to the 4 H motto and the pledge. Brenda Fairless: "The role of the State Council president is one that involves many important responsibilities as one is considered a "model 4-H'er. It must be entered whole-hartedly with initiative and an endless supply of energy and cooperation. It would involve the keeping of all 4 H'ers in North Carolina in step with the rapid pace in which our organization is progressing today. No longer would this leader be dealing with just her own club on a local level, but on a statewide basis to ignite in them a desire to be the very best. " Betty Scott: One of the responsibilities of our state president is to be a true representative of 168, H'ers in North Carolina. She must be a shining example of all that 4-H stands for and at all times be 4 H's goodwill ambassador to the people of the state. Other responsibilities include: presiding at meetings, encouraging and sparking enthusiasm in other 4-H members and working continually to expand our 4 H program so more and more youth in our state can be influenced by our 4-H ideals.
