Linda has been an integral part of the McLean 4-H program for a little over 10 years. Her desire to become a 4-H leader came from wanting to encourage diversity and inclusion in the program. She has not only embraced volunteering as a club leader but has moved to serve in county and state capacities as well. Linda has been a local 4-H judge, State Fair judge, served two terms on the McLean County Extension Council, and currently serves on the McLean County Foundation, Extension State Advisory Council, and the new State 4-H Diversity Equity Inclusion task force.
