Selection is based on evidence of professional and business achievement, leadership in community service and philanthropy, contributions to or impact on American society, and significant leadership and achievement as a 4-H member.
4-H Emerald Clover Society members include former 4-H’ers whose careers vary from politics, teaching and farming to entrepreneurs, community leaders and those who have dedicated their lives to 4-H. Some Emerald Clover Society members include former Gov. John Engler; former Michigan first lady Janet Blanchard; Mary Ellen Sheets, founder of Two Men and a Truck ®International, Inc.; and Fred Meijer, grocery entrepreneur.

Honorees receive a recognition award, an exclusive Emerald Clover Society membership pin and individual biographical recognition on the society’s Web site. Their names are also engraved on the 4-H Emerald Clover Society wall at Kettunen Center.
Michigan 4-H Emerald Clover Society members are inducted every two years. The inaugural class of 62 members was inducted in 2002 in honor of the national 4-H centennial. Subsequent classes were inducted in 2004, 2006 and 2008 for a total of 112 members to date.
Nominations for the 2010 class will be accepted through Jan. 31, 2010.
