Junior Representative Program

The Junior Representative program is a complementary program functioning within a county to assist the dairy princess in carrying out her duties and to educate and train future princess candidates and promoters. Or, it is a program which functions in its own right, when there is no princess, to train future candidates and to provide young persons to help, when needed, with county dairy promotion activities.

This program was started several years ago and now enlist not only young women, but young men as well. These young people are willing and able to promote an industry in which they believe in. This year numbers a group of 241 junior representatives.

These young people were trained in the what, why and how’s of dairy promotion at a one-day “Mini-Seminar” in mid July and will serve their local areas whenever needed. As evidence that this program is working to train the future royalty – all three of this past year’s state royalty served as junior representatives and 20 of this year’s 31 county princesses served as junior representatives.
