Extension serves a crucial role in communities on a daily basis. When communities face crisis Extension’s role is dramatically different and yet the same. Join us for the Sudden Impact pre-conference training to learn how colleagues have stepped up for the last 28 years, some Extension factors that make us a good emergency fit for communities under duress, and a practical discussion on handling cows in trees, pigs on barns, towns without power and islands without hope.
KEYNOTE PANEL DISCUSSION
Unmasking our Potential – New Leadership!
Cooperative Extension in the Future from the Perspectives of USDA/NIFA and APLU
While masks are expected and useful during Mardi Gras parades, and maybe at other times, we are unmasking our worthy partners – NIFA and APLU! Dr. Angle and Dr. Steele are new in their current roles as Director of NIFA and Vice President of APLU, respectively, and both have notably strong and productive foundations in Land-Grant universities. This is a perfect opportunity to remove all masks and blinders and see the future we can expect from their new and vibrant leadership.
