Why Was this Different? It Would NOT Go Away!
28
What are the Challenges? It was something different Required time and commitment on the front end
29
What are the Challenges? Some thought it would go away Some felt like it was top down with too much structure
30
What are the Challenges? To really work, it required a strong program and thus poor programs were challenged Required lots of “people or soft” skills
31
Points of Interest Worked great with new agents and where no existing Advisory System 4-H seems to be best positioned to capitalize fast ANR has many commodity/special interest groups
32
What is Next? County Council led by CEC’s Integration into total Base Programming Not losing momentum
