Becoming a project superintendent is different than just helping with a project. You are in charge of the entire project and its activities for your two year term. This includes organizing workshops, activities, guest speakers, and Fair events for your project area. If you would like to nominate someone, please e-mail or call the Extension Office at lewisclark(at)montana.edu or (406) 447-8346. You can also make a nomination at the September meeting. The election happens at every October meeting. Superintendents & junior superintendents can cast one vote per project area. Club representatives in attendance can cast one vote each for the election only.
If you are just interested in helping out with a project and don't want to be a superintendent, please indicate your interest by submitting this online form. The Extension Office or superintendent will get back to you.
