Pike County leadership in KEHA

Author: Leslie Workman

Planning Unit: Family and Consumer Sciences

Major Program: Kentucky Extension Homemaker Association

Plan of Work: Leadership Development

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

True leadership reveals itself in difficult times.  During the 2020 homemaker year, most KEHA clubs were unable to meet in person due to COVID-19 restrictions. Pike County Homemakers enjoyed their last regular county council meeting on Feb 15, 2020.  After that point, club meetings were reduced to phone calls, social media interaction and lesson materials delivered by paper or electronic means.  Because Pike County Homemaker officers, chairman and leaders are trained as Extension leaders, they have been able to maintain their membership and certain club activities.  Many members continued to serve the community in a volunteer capacity through the construction of face-coverings for at-risk populations and school children. They also contributed cards and tokens to elderly in nursing homes and care facilities who were facing extended time away from loved ones.  Additionally, during this time, the Pike County Homemaker treasurer took on the role as the Northeast Area Homemaker treasurer. This seamless transition ensured that all members from the 10 county area can have continued membership.  The new treasurer worked to reconcile accounts, mailing lists, etc., all without the benefit of a hands-on training from the previous office-holder.
