Retired Conservation Manager Bill Stevens Inducted into 4-H National Hall of Fame

I had the privilege of attending the induction ceremony for this year's 4-H National Hall of Fame in Chevy Chase, MD. Our 42-year veteran and now retired conservation manager Bill Stevens was added to an impressive list of inductees to the hall.

According to the National 4-H Hall of Fame, the awards are given in recognition and celebration of “...those people who have made an extraordinary impact on 4-H and the lives of millions of members.” It was a touching ceremony that reminds us all how important it is to develop young people into responsible adults and conscientious sportspeople.

Stevens carried on a tradition of educating youth through 4-H that was started by our founder Charles Horn nearly 80-years ago. The 4-H Shooting Sports program is still going strong today and Federal is expanding its presence with sister company Champion and the efforts of conservation specialist Ryan Bronson.
