Serve on an Extension Program Development Committee
Are you interested in taking an active role with Extension Programming?
If so, consider running for a Program Development Committee (PDC) position! Serving on a program development committee is an opportunity for individuals who have an interest in helping their local communities and who would like to develop their personal leadership skills. The members of each PDC work together with agents to develop local extension programming: a deliberate, continuing sequence of planned events, activities, and strategies focused on a common outcome. Program participants gain knowledge, acquire skills, make decisions, and change behaviors. Educational activities might include informal classes, presentations, workshops, experiential learning, websites, social media, group facilitation, and volunteer efforts.
Program development committees focus on four core areas:
• Agriculture and Natural Resources
• Community Development
• Family and Consumer Sciences
• 4-H Youth Development
Public Elections are held each year in October. The 2017 Election is Friday October 20th. There are three locations in Rawlins County in which you can vote:
Atwood: Jamboree Foods (9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.)
Herndon: Herndon Insurance 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.)
McDonald: McDonald Grocery (9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.)
We encourage everyone to go out and vote!
Members are elected for a two-year term, during which they meet with Extension at least four times per year. If you are interested in running for a program development committee position, please contact the Extension Office for more information at 785-626-3192. Thank you to everyone who is currently serving on our Program Development Committees, we couldn’t serve our community without you!
