SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – Through 4-H, youth have
opportunities to explore their unique interests, try new things, and
grow into future leaders. Families in Sangamon County will soon see
new opportunities for their youth as Maddie Atterberry begins work
as the Sangamon County 4-H Program Coordinator.
“We are excited for Maddie to join our 4-H team,” said Terri Casey,
Illinois Extension county director for Logan, Menard, and Sangamon
counties. “She is bringing lots of creative energy and a fresh
perspective that will help 4-H grow and thrive in Sangamon County.”
Atterberry comes to Illinois Extension after completing her master’s
degree in museum studies at the University of Oklahoma. She received
her undergraduate degree in finance from Creighton University, where
she met her husband. The couple recently moved to her husband’s
hometown of Petersburg, where they are raising their daughter. In
her leisure time, Atterberry enjoys reading, walking her beagle
Schmitt, cooking, and cheering for her hometown team, the Nebraska
Cornhuskers.
“I am really excited about this opportunity to learn more about 4-H
and how I can best support Sangamon County through everything 4-H
has to offer,” said Atterberry.
