(Franklin, GA) — Dinah Rowe of Heard County was recently awarded the William H. Booth Award for the Northwest District which recognizes the outstanding work of Georgia extension agents involved in the 4-H program.
The Booth Awards, sponsored by Georgia Electric Membership Corp., were presented virtually through the Georgia 4-H broadcast, “Stars Across Georgia.”
“Georgia 4-H provides a powerful positive influence on young people’s lives through 4-H Extension Agents like Dinah Rowe,” says Georgia EMC’s Senior Public Relations Coordinator Gale Cutler.
“By making a commitment to youth as they contribute their time, creativity and caring dedication, they make a difference across their communities and our state. Georgia’s EMCs share that commitment of improving the communities where we serve and are proud to sponsor an award that highlights these exceptional agents.”

Dinah Rowe
Dinah Rowe deserves all the accolades that this award gives her and more. We as a community need to tell her often that the work she does and the passion for it that she demonstrates, is a huge asset to the youth in Heard County. Thanks Dinah!
Thank You Dinah Rowe! You know that I’m sincere when I follow up on Judy because I was there when you stepped in with our 4-H club and County Extension Agent on a pinch shortly after Mrs. Ellen retired from her many years of dedication to the children and adults of Heard County. Dinah, was there when the other agents quit and I remember how much the students looked forward to all the club activities, club meetings, after school activities, competitions and 4-H Camp. You probably weren’t paid for much of your time doing and planning to always strive for success and all those nights away from your family to ensure that other things were followed up with your never ending energy.
Congratulations to Dinah for continued love of youth. All need positive models, and your are that.
I’m very biased, but I think she’s pretty great!
Thank you for your kind comments. I feel very blessed to live in our community where we are like one great big family.
Our children and community love this program and what it brings. Being that I have worked alongside Mrs. Dinah for almost 5 years now. I’m a little biased as well. I see all the hard work and dedication each and every day. She deserves this accomplishment and so much more. Congratulations!
