Chuck Paulsen is our June Alum
of the Month. Paulsen is an Agricultural and Commercial Loan Officer at Bank
Iowa in Cedar Falls. He is a trustee for the Iowa 4-H Foundation and is
actively involved with the marketing committee. He is an avid Black Hawk
County 4-H mentor and volunteer. Paulsen spent fifteen years on the Black Hawk
County Fair board and served as Superintendent of livestock judging contests.
He was a nine-year member of the Cedar Falls Hustler 4-H Club and served on the
Black Hawk County 4-H Council during his youth years. The projects and
activities that Paulsen was involved in while in 4-H included
sheep, horses, beef, home improvement, gardening, sewing, fashion review,
horticulture, and county council.
“4-H has shaped most of my
adult life. From my choice of Animal Science as a college major to being very
actively involved as an adult volunteer. In some way, I can confidently
say it somehow affects most all aspects of my life. You don’t realize as a youth
how impactful 4-H’s motto of “Learning by Doing” will be as you journey
through life.”
Some of Paulsen’s favorite 4-H
memories are carrying the flag during county parade on his horse, making
lifetime friends, giving club presentations, and being one of two boys in the
fashion review. As an adult leader he fondly remembers taking multiple teams
and individuals to top place finishes at many livestock judging contests
including state.
Paulsen considers his most
recent accomplishments involving 4-H to include being asked to be a trustee for
the Iowa 4-H Foundation and completing his training to be a county archery
instructor along with his wife. He looks forward to creating many new memories
with his son who is currently in 4-H.
