Thank you for registering for the 2019 Montana 4-H Fall Ambassador & Teen Leaders Training. The State Officer Team has been hard at work preparing an exciting event for you to network, learn and enjoy 4-H leaders from across Montana. The complete schedule has been provided below.

Upon arrival at registration you will receive a registration packet with a printed schedule, nametag and hotel room key. All activities will take place in the hotel mainly in the ballroom areas. Please remember that you are representing your county 4-H program and Montana 4-H throughout the event and it is necessary to be respectful to all hotel guests and staff.

If you have ordered a fall training t-shirt these will also be handed out at registration. If your county signed you up as an County Ambassador nametags can be picked up near the registration table as well.
