Western Regional Leaders' Forum

Western Regional Leaders' Forum

Western Regional Leaders Forum. This is fondly known as WRLF. This conference was started in California in 1966 as a staff and volunteer joint effort and now some fifteen years later it is still going strong! This conference is a three-day leadership opportunity for county staff and master volunteers to share skills and knowledge. The conference is held during the first week of March or the last week in February. One of the thirteen 13 Western States hosts the conference.

This multi-state, educational “volunteer forum” is held every year, hosted by a different state in the western region of the United States (including Alaska and Hawaii). This learning opportunity includes great speakers, skill-building workshops, time to exchange tons of ideas and make new friends, and entertainment just for fun!  Teen 4-H volunteers are welcome too.
