New Mexico 4-H program announces leadership team
New Mexico State 4-H has selected and elected five officers and five ambassadors, ranging from ages 14 to 18, for the 2024-25 4-H Leadership Team. At the annual 2024 State 4-H Conference in Las Cruces in July, a new group of leaders were selected to serve the organization, 4-H youth, fellow members and the community.
“Five new officers were elected by 4-H delegates representing New Mexico counties and five new ambassadors were selected by a panel of judges,” said Cheryl Butterfield, New Mexico State University Cooperative Extension Service state 4-H agent.
New Mexico State 2024-25 4-H Leadership Team includes Denny Turner of Curry County, president; Jaleh Mosher of Sandoval County, vice president; Kate Dion-LaMont of Santa Fe County, secretary; Faith Carter of Lea County, reporter; Sam Prada of Los Alamos County, song and recreation leader; Nadya Neparko of Doña Ana County, STEM ambassador; Lacey Knight of Doña Ana County, horse ambassador; Shaylee Priest of Curry County, leadership ambassador; Journey Sheehan of Hidalgo County, small stock ambassador; and Kyle Wood of Curry County, beef ambassador.
“I enjoy working with the leadership team members,” Butterfield said. “The beginning of each year with a new team is always exciting and a new adventure as the youth plan and prepare for the upcoming state 4-H events.”
As officers and ambassadors, the team will spend this year preparing for statewide responsibilities through training and planning retreats. They are responsible for planning and conducting statewide leadership events for novice, junior and senior 4-H members including Youth Get-Away, Senior Leadership Retreat and State 4-H Conference; assisting with the junior livestock shows at the New Mexico State Fair, 4-H Day at the state capitol, National 4-H Week promotions and various county and district 4-H events; and traveling to Washington, D.C., for an educational leadership event where they will meet the New Mexico congressional delegation and agriculture industry leaders.
