New Indiana 4-H Foundation board members named
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The Indiana 4-H Foundation has added three members to its board of directors. Roger Sherer of Wells County, Annie Smith of Marion County, and Eric Wolfe of Putnam County join the other 18 foundation board members to lead the 60-year-old state organization’s goal to broaden the impact and reach of Indiana state 4-H programs.
Roger Sherer grew up on a Noble County farm in Northeast Indiana, where he was a 10-year 4-H member. In 1973, he attended National 4-H Congress and was selected as one of the scholarship winners in safety. Upon graduating from Purdue University with a degree in agricultural education and animal science, Sherer was selected to be a delegate to Poland in the International 4-H Youth Exchange program. He recently retired after serving 40 years as a 4-H youth development educator in Wells County for Purdue Extension.
