Uniform Selection Update The 4-H State Recognition and Incentives Committee will analyze and evaluate the results of the uniform voting process and make recommendations to the Associate Director of 4-H Program and Policy in early 2015. The new uniform selection process will take time to implement. We anticipate that there will be a transition period to the new uniform and an implementation process will be developed in the coming months.
