Action Item: Poor ExampleEncourage Participation in National Meetings: Phantom Committee
Background – Due to the impending success of the national eXtension effort, faculty of state Extension organizations have more opportunities to collaborate with colleagues on a broader scale. Participation in national meetings would give faculty more opportunities to network with their counterparts and learn of ongoing activities in which they can partner. Extension leadership is asked to consider supporting the increase in attendance by faculty to national meetings that could improve relationships and collaboration between state organizations.
Committee (s) Involved – All committees
Action Needed – Approval for professional faculty/staff to attend national meetings.
Time Line – 2009 and beyond.
