The ARBA is being represented with a booth to educate agents about our association. Promotional materials are provided along with information encouraging all 4H members to become ARBA members. Partnering with cooperative extension agents across the country is critical to informing 4H about the benefits of ARBA membership. Many current ARBA members were first introduced to our hobby through 4H projects so this promotional event is an exciting opportunity to share what we already know- this IS the best hobby on earth!
