It is with pleasure we congratulate the 2012 Charles Lifer Excellence in 4-H Award winner, James L. Jordan, formerly our colleague in Butler County but now, the 4-H Educator and County Extension Director of Williams County. Jim is recognized for his commitment and leadership for developing and maintaining a program that makes a positive impact, touching the lives of thousands. He has provided leadership to the Ohio 4-H CARTEENS team, a program being recognized as a National 4-H Program of Distinction. Colleagues credit him with being their “expert on laws, statistics, and trends in teen vehicular safety.” Please join in applauding Jim's dedication to 4-H Youth Development and for winning this year's award.
