Exciting times are here! The Wildcat Extension Education Foundation is holding its initial meeting in July. This foundation will help us make a difference on an entirely new level! It is imperative that we recognize that a truly effective foundation is much more than a sum of money set aside for philanthropic use. It is the carefully cultivated, ever-evolving product of an organization's vision and drive. The Wildcat Extension Education Foundation will be youth centered, but will also positively enhance our programming efforts in all of our areas of specialization.
The Wildcat Extension Education Foundation will be comprised of two members from every county located within the Wildcat Extension District. We are pleased to announce the following representatives will be part of our inaugural board:
Crawford County
Julie Smith, Girard
Dr. Mark Johnson, Pittsburg State University
Labette County
Dr. Kelli Allen, Parsons
Keith Geren, Altamont
Montgomery County
Jerry Hall, Sycamore
Julie Voelker, Independence
Wilson County
Sharon Frankenbery, Altoona
Marilyn Kidd, Fredonia
Also, a quick note to hold the date for our second Small Business: Big Ideas Workshop. The next workshop wiill be held on August 16, 2018 at Southeast Area Research and Extension Center in Parsons, KS. This workshop will focus on tax issues, financial software, succession planning, and the decision to purchase franchise vs. owning independent business. This workshop is great for business owners, potential business owners, or those in Human Resources. Mark your calendars today!
