            \n

            Membership in the National Association of Extension 4-H Agents from South Carolina dates back to 1973.\u00a0E. Joyce Richardson<\/strong>, State 4-H Staff, was the first to join, with\u00a0W. C. Clinkscales<\/strong>, State 4-H Staff, joining the following year. In 1975, two County Extension Agents,\u00a0Laval Oxendine\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0C. M. Lester<\/strong>, joined and attended the National Meeting that year in Kentucky, along with Clinkscales and\u00a0Mary Stone<\/strong>\u00a0from the State 4-H Staff. In 1976, South Carolina membership in NAE4-HA was 45. Many of these members attended the NAE4-HA Annual Conference before the State Association became a reality.\u00a0Mary Elizabeth Outzs<\/strong>, County Extension Agent, represented the state at the Southern Regional Workshop in Atlanta, GA, February 1977. After several years of discussing the possibility of organizing a State 4-H Agents Association, Dr. Wayne T. O\u2019Dell, Director, granted approval on May 3, 1977. Others attending this same meeting were\u00a0Mr. T. J. Bryson<\/strong>, President of the County Agents Association,\u00a0Mrs. Sallie Loveland<\/strong>, President of Extension Home Economist Association,\u00a0W.C. Clinkscales<\/strong>, State 4-H Staff and Acting State Contact for NAE4-HA, and\u00a0Mary Elizabeth Outzs<\/strong>, County Extension Agent in Edgefield County.<\/p>\n

            The same year during the Annual conference for Extension Professionals in Myrtle Beach, an organizational meeting was held on November 29, 1977, with W. C. Clinkscales, Acting State Contact for NAE4-HA, presiding. Dr. Wayne T. O’Dell made positive comments about the 4-H Youth Work in South Carolina and gave full support to organizing the South Carolina Association of Extension 4-H Agents.<\/p>\n

            J. Roland Flory<\/strong>, President-Elect of NAE4-HA, spoke on the benefits of a state association. He announced that Alabama and South Carolina were the only two southern states not having a state association.<\/p>\n

            Three pre-appointed committees were announced:<\/p>\n

            Constitution and Bylaws<\/strong>: Mary Elizabeth Outzs, Chairman
            \nMembership<\/strong>: Bill Ruggles, Chairman
            \nNominating<\/strong>: Laval Oxendine, Chairman<\/p>\n

            The first officers nominated and elected were:<\/p>\n

            President:<\/strong>\u00a0Mary Elizabeth Outzs
            \nVice-President:<\/strong>\u00a0Laval Oxendine
            \nSecretary\/Treasurer:<\/strong>\u00a0Janice Ruggles
            \nTemporary Secretary:<\/strong>\u00a0Peggy Kernodle.<\/p>\n

            Mr. Flory installed them.<\/p>\n

            The following year, 1978, fifty-three professionals joined the association. Interest grew, and plans were made to have an annual meeting. This first conference was held at Camp Long, September 13 – 14, 1979. Since that time, all annual conferences were held at Camp Long until 1987.<\/p>\n

            Laval Oxendine<\/strong>, County Agent of Florence County, was the first South Carolinian to serve in a leadership role on a National Committee. He was Chairman-Elect in 1982 and Chairman of the Public Relations and Information Committee in 1983. The next year,\u00a0Mary Elizabeth Outzs<\/strong>\u00a0served on the Nominating Committee.<\/p>\n

            Several members have served as NAE4-HA Southern Regional Contacts:\u00a0E. Joyce Richardson<\/strong>, National Programs Committee, 1978 – 80;\u00a0Mary Elizabeth Outzs<\/strong>, Policy and Resolutions, 1982 – 84;\u00a0Janet Ensor<\/strong>, Programs, 1983 – 85;\u00a0Martha Phillips<\/strong>, Regional Editor of\u00a0News & Views<\/em>, 1986 – 88;\u00a0M. Peggy Culler<\/strong>, Policy and Resolutions, 1987 – 89; and\u00a0Thad Jones<\/strong>, Professional Improvement, 1988 – 90.<\/p>\n

            The Association has conducted four campaigns for Southern Regional Director,\u00a0W. C. Clinkscales<\/strong>\u00a0in 1978,\u00a0M. Peggy Culler<\/strong>\u00a0in 1986,\u00a0Laval Oxendine<\/strong>\u00a0in 1987 and Michael McManus in 2005. Laval Oxendine was elected and served as Regional Director, 1988 – 89. Michael McManus was also elected\u00a0 and served, 2006-07.<\/p>\n

            Dr. Ken Hollerman<\/strong>, Poultry Science Specialist, Clemson, and\u00a0Mary Elizabeth Outzs<\/strong>\u00a0were the first to receive the Distinguished Service award. The 25 Years Service Recipient was\u00a0Georgia T. Roberson<\/strong>, 4-H Specialist, Clemson. These awards were presented at the NAE4-HA Annual Meeting held in Atlanta, GA in 1978.<\/p>\n

            Professional development and leadership have been the major goals of the association since its organization. The first statewide recognition of accomplishments in this area came in 1980 – 81 when SCAE4-HA’s study leave proposals were adopted, with a few revisions, by the State Extension Administration. Many positive contributions to the development of the County Extension Professionals Career have been made. The opportunities to participate in and attend state and national meetings whose goals are professional have been valuable\u00a0from a professional standpoint<\/u>. Members are more receptive to new ideas and are exposed to programs in other regions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
