Ray Walden,
Coordinator, Salem
Telecommunication Community Resource Center
The educational benefit gives me a nice
discount on tuition. When I get to the
dissertation stage, I’ll be able to take
some time off to complete that project,
where as I might not have had that provision
with another employer.
Virginia Wilson,
Business
Specialist, St. Charles County
I try to take advantage of every opportunity
that I can get to further my education.
Education never stops. It’s ongoing.
Jim Crawford, Agricultural
Engineering Specialist, Atchison County
The other regional specialists are as close
as a phone call away. Everybody's been
helpful — whether at the state level or
the regional specialist level — when I
have questions or need advice on how things
are supposed to work. E-mail works great. If
there's something I can't identify, I can
take a picture, send it via e-mail, they'll
have it, and generally within 5 or 10
minutes, I'll have an answer. They support
you well, and they'll give you a lot of
backup when you need it. If you don't need
it, they don't bother you.
