In November and December 2013, the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service is holding listening sessions and meetings with our employees, the public and many of our stakeholder groups, including county governments, commodity groups, community organizations and others. The purpose of these meetings will be to explain our current strategic planning situation and to seek input as we move forward in the process.
Dr. Joe Zublena, N.C. Cooperative Extension Service director, will be in attendance at each session to update participants on our progress and to engage in discussion about the Cooperative Extension Service’s future.
