Completion and Leader Certificates
Attached is an order form for member completion certificates and gold seals for charters. This year the leader certificates are only available in a locked Word document from http://www.4h.colostate.edu/agent_resources. You can download the files to your computer where you can easily create custom leader certificates. When you print these, get creative with parchment or other nice paper for a more custom look.
