WANTED: JAC Candidates
The Junior Activities Committee is looking for five new members for 2022! We’ll be returning to the JAC elections everyone is used to, where candidates from each district will be selected in their respective caucuses and then voted on by all the convention attendees. This year, we have five spots that need to be filled, with a one-year and a two-year term JAC being elected for the Southeast district and a two-year position available in each of the other three districts. Being a JAC is truly a great way to become a leader in the association, and you make lifelong connections in the industry. If you or someone you know has questions or doubts about running, please reach out to Laura at the WHA office or one of the other JACs. 24 – Wisconsin Holstein News – December 2021

Contest Room now the “Activity Room”
The former Contest Room is now the “Activity Room” and will include the former contests along with new educational and fun activities that juniors can participate in any time the room is open. Ads, photos, crafts, and more! There are a ton of opportunities for recognition at junior convention in the Activity Room. Juniors can enter the Photography, Arts and Crafts, Folding Display, and Advertising contests. Drawing & Painting and Crafts has been combined into one contest with two divisions junior and senior. For rules and age divisions of these contests, check out the Junior Handbook online on the junior awards page. All contest room entries must be taken or produced during 2021 by the junior member entering the project. Entries will be due by 5 pm on Tuesday, December 28. Due to low participation over the last few years, we have eliminated the scrapbook and banner contests. We do encourage groups to bring finished scrapbooks to the Activity Room to display their yearly activities - displayed scrapbooks will earn points for the Premier County contest. Looking for more ways to earn points? We’re bringing “Bovology” back, will have corn hole and different board games available to play and more surprises along the way.
