Glenda Booker

Glenda began her 4-H Career in the fall of 1956 when she joined the 5th Grade 4-H Club at Oakmont Elementary in Dickson County. Glenda was the first member of her family to attend college. Following graduation from UT Knoxville, Glenda was employed as the Home Agent in Houston County, with responsibilities for Adult and Youth Home Economics programs. But her heart was with 4-H and devoting more time to programming with youth. She transferred to Wilson County on January 1, 1966, and served as Assistant Home Agent/later Extension Agent, 4-H Youth Development. Titles changed, but our responsibility was the same---4-H Youth Development. Glenda was a member of Lebanon First Baptist Church, Lebanon Junior Women’s Club, Lebanon Business and Professional Women’s Club and Morning Rotary. She was a member of the Wilson County Fair Board, with responsibilities for the Youth Exhibit Building and the Youth Fair Board. Glenda retired from UT Extension on December 30, 2022, and resides in Dickson County. Since that time, she has continued to Volunteer with Regional and State All Stars and the Tennessee 4-H Performing Arts Troupe. She was member of the State Health Rocks Training Team and attended National and State training sessions. She served on the Operation Military Kids Training Team, attended National OMK Training, and assisted with several OMK summer camps. Glenda also worked part-time in four counties as a Program Assistant with 4-H, TNCEP, 21st Century Grant, and Workforce Readiness Grant.
