Organizational
Management and Development
The "Synopsis of Models for Improving Extension Program Delivery" document
indicates the following recommendations:
RESOURCE ALLOCATIONS:
"Focus on more resources "in the field,"
primarily in the form of county agents and county educators and
program assistants to maximize the resources available to meet
local needs."
"Develop more "specialized" county
agents to provide more multi-county, regional or area support to
other county agents in specialized areas of traditional three programs
and to support increased use of technology, marketing, communications
and resource development."
"Focus on more centralized resources in
areas such as programming, marketing, evaluation, technology, communications,
staff development and others to better support county staff."
STAFFING:
"Focus on improving the connection of faculty
with split appointments to CES."
"Increase the use of county
agents with multi-county appointments and the use of area county
agent teams in program areas or to address specific area or regional
issues."
"Increase and standardized
the degree requirements for county agents, both at entry level
and throughout their career. Improve the public service promotion
system and the opportunities for county agents to be more successful."
Several issues related to organizational management and continued
development of professional staff were identified during the review
process. Each issue will be reviewed and addressed as needed to reflect
an extension service of national reputation. Issues identified include:
