Arkansas State 4-H Leader of the Year Named 

Arkansas State 4-H Leader of the Year Named 

The Sevier County Extension Office is proud to have another honor!  

Each year, one individual from Arkansas is named Leader of the Year. This year, Sevier County was honored to have not just one 4-H Leader recognized, but two. Michelle Sawyer and Patricia Maben were announced during the awards ceremony at UA Fayetteville on Thursday, July 28 as the recipients of the 2022 Arkansas State 4-H Leader of the Year. This was the first time two leaders were honored at the same time.  

Many know the sisters through various projects they take part in throughout the county. Both Michelle and Patricia make 4-H meetings a family event by involving parents. They host various family fun days, take part in different community services, and their club thrives from the time they dedicate to it. There is no way to measure the amount of time or effort both Michelle and Patricia have given to 4-H.  

The University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture is an equal opportunity/equal access/affirmative action institution. If you require a reasonable accommodation to participate or need materials in another format, please contact the Sevier County Extension Office as soon as possible. Dial 711 for Arkansas Relay.
