The Campbell County Cooperative Extension Service depends upon advisory and community leadership groups to identify, plan, implement, and evaluate our programs and activities. Leadership groups will help identify and address community needs and opportunities.
Individual, community, and environmental conditions will improve through personal involvement with the Campbell County Cooperative Extension Service's community and leadership development programs and activities.
By being engaged in Extension leadership/program groups, leaders will implement their leadership skills and help develop Extension programs and activities. Programs will be implemented to address a variety of local needs and opportunities.
Individuals will become knowledgeable about the opportunities to become involved in Extension leadership groups. Through their involvement, participants will gain the knowledge and skills needed to assume leadership roles. Local needs and opportunities will be identified by the Extension Leadership groups.
