SHERIDAN, Texas — A DeWitt County 4‑H member, Jana, has been elected to serve as the 2026–2027 District 11 4‑H Public Relations Officer, earning a seat on the District 11 4‑H Council following officer elections at this year’s Leadership Lab.
Jana completed a formal interview, delivered a campaign speech, and was selected by voting delegates from across the district. Her new role places her in a key leadership position representing youth from 18 counties across South Texas.
Jana and fellow DeWitt County 4‑H member CJ attended Leadership Lab at Splashway in Sheridan over the past several days. The annual event brings together youth from across District 11 for advanced leadership training, team‑building activities, community service projects, and district officer elections.
Participants took part in workshops focused on communication, problem‑solving, and public‑speaking skills, while also collaborating on new ideas to bring back to their home counties for the upcoming 4‑H year.
Local 4‑H leaders expressed pride in both members’ accomplishments and their commitment to representing DeWitt County.
“We are so proud of Jana and CJ,” volunteers said. “They stepped up, worked hard, and represented DeWitt County with leadership and enthusiasm.”
