Agenda Text
The Board is requested to meet and recognize the 2024 Durham County Youth Delegate, Amanda Davis, for the NC Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) YouthVoice program.
YouthVoice, which takes place at the NCACC's Annual Conference, offers sessions that help youth gain a better understanding of what county governments do and the role of commissioners as the governing body for counties, and provides multiple opportunities for youth and county officials to connect. NCACC invites delegates ages 14-19 from all 100 NC Counties. All youth delegates must attend a Board of County Commissioner's meeting and submit a photo of themselves taken with their County Commissioners.
Amanda is 14 years old and has been involved with Durham County 4-H for 2 years. She has jumped in with both feet and loves volunteering in her community with her church and 4-H club. She is an active member of 4-H teen council and her Girl Scout Troop, President of her 4-H Homeschool Gardening Club, and was recently elected to be the North Central District 4-H President. Amanda is excited this summer to be volunteering with Kids Voting Durham and enjoys participating in all of the civic engagement opportunities that 4-H offers. In her free time, she likes writing, spending time with loved ones, and being active like going for walks, swimming, and gardening.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: The plan aligns with multiple goals in the County's strategic plan.
