Washington, DC, Sept. 12, 2024 – The National 4-H Council Board of Trustees welcomes Karis T. Gutter as the newest member of its board. As the current Head of Government and Industry Affairs for Corteva Agriscience, Americas, Gutter will bring a wealth of experience in sustainability, food security and innovation.

“Karis’ extensive background in agriculture and commitment to public service will enhance our efforts to ignite and inspire the next generation of leaders,” said Krysta Harden, National 4-H Council Board Chair and President & CEO of U.S. Dairy Export Council. “We’re excited to have his talents, leadership and experience as a Board member.”

A native of Terry, Mississippi, Gutter’s career began with his service in the United States Marine Corps Reserves. He furthered his impact through roles in local government with the Hinds County Board of Supervisors and on Capitol Hill, where he served as Deputy Chief of Staff and Legislative Director to Congressman Bennie G.

“I am honored to join the 4-H Board and contribute to its vital mission of preparing youth for their career and life,” said Gutter. “I look forward to leveraging my experience in agriculture and public service to support and advance the incredible work being done to empower young people.”  

With a notable career spanning both public service and industry leadership, prior to Corteva Agriscience, Gutter also served as the Deputy Undersecretary for Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services and as the Military Veterans Agricultural Liaison at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where he played a crucial role in agricultural policy and support to providing education to military veterans and families.

Corteva Agriscience has been a long-standing partner with 4-H for many years. Through initiatives like the 4-H Pollinator Habitat partnership, employee volunteer efforts to promote sustainability, and active board leadership, the organization is committed to the support of positive youth development locally and nationally.
