Historical NoteReturn to Top
The Oregon State University Extension Association/4-H (OSUEA/4-H) is the professional association of extension workers, mostly extension agents, who work with the 4-H/Youth program in Oregon. Prior to 1986, the organization was known as the Oregon Extension Association/4-H (OEA/4-H). OSUEA/4-H is affiliated with the National Association of Extension 4-H Agents (NAE4-HA). OSUEA/4-H was organized in 1975 and in 1977 placed a bid to host the 1983 NAE4-HA Conference in Portland, Oregon. A full history of the organization is available in the collection.
