A Message from the President

I have had the privilege of serving as the 4-H Extension Agent in Rankin County for the past ten years. I currently serve as the NACAA National Chair of the 4-H and Youth Programming Committee and am honored to be a graduate of the 2024 NACAA Inaugural Leadership Academy.

As we look ahead, I am excited for the opportunities this year will bring. MACAA is strong because of its members—your dedication, your expertise, and your passion for serving Mississippi’s communities.
