Greetings from the Director:
Recently our Cottonwood Team met with more than twenty of our Program Development Committee members who help guide our work. At our dinner meeting we asked the question “What makes you STOP and consider attending an event/program?” Answers varied but the common theme was that programs should cover relevant topics that help improve a persons’ life in some way. The challenge in our ever-changing world is when to schedule educational events and whether the event will be held in person or available on-line. While we couldn’t solve all the issues in our 2-hour meeting, we all came away with some great ideas of things to consider. In the months ahead look for our team of agents to try some new approaches.
I want to bring you up to date on the three Extension Agent positions currently open in the Cottonwood Extension District. The position announcement/
application process for the 4-H Youth Development Agent in the Hays office will be coming out soon. The date for interviews has been set for June 28th.
The Family Community Wellness position in the Hays office will be announced later in the summer and the District Horticulture position will follow soon after. If you know of anyone who has the qualifications plus a heart to serve the public, encourage them to apply.
Let me know how we, in the Cottonwood Extension District, can best serve your needs!
And during the month ahead, I hope you can spend time with your family as you celebrate Easter.
Donna Krug, District Director
