Extension increases local officials’ knowledge and decision-making abilities by providing facilitation resources and educational programs. Local officials often request the assistance of the Extension Office in helping boards and committees understand their specific roles and responsibilities, such as open meetings or records laws.
Program example:
The Washington County Board Chair requested Paul conduct research and facilitate a process for the Washington County Board Structure Advisory Committee that would result in the Committee identifying a preferred size for the Washington County Board. Paul presented a Summary Report of the Committee’s work at the February 2020 Washington County Board meeting.
