Leadership Development Conference is right around the corner! This year it is at the Denver Renaissance Hotel, 3801 Quebec St. Denver. It will be held from Saturday, January 29 to Sunday, January 30. Arapahoe County will not offer
4-H Capital Day on 1/31/22.
4-H Members attending must register, stay at the Renaissance Hotel and attend all conference youth events. It is mandatory that you stay at the hotel for the event. Shaylen will make the hotel reservations. The cost of the rooms will be approximately $125 a night and that does not include tax and only 2 per room is allowed. We will only be staying Saturday night. The final cost for the rooms will be sent to you at a later time.
Meals are the responsibility of each individual except for Saturday Banquet and Sunday morning breakfast.
The Arapahoe County 4-H Foundation will pay $30.00 of the registration fee for members who attend this Conference for the first time and total registration fees for Senators and Alternate Senators. Everyone attending the conference must send the $175 registration fee. The $175 registration fee does not include the cost of the hotel room. The lodging fees for members and chaperones are not covered by the Arapahoe County 4-H Foundation because the Conference is being held in the Denver Metro Area.
