We believe in what we do and it shows in our history, in our programs, and most importantly, in the people we serve.
Become a council member - a unique opportunity
If you live in the Southeast region of Missouri, we invite you to become a nominee for the University of Missouri Extension Council in your county. We appreciate your efforts to be in tune with your community, have your community's best interests at heart and open the doors of opportunity for your county's residents through University of Missouri Extension.
As a member of the local Extension council, you can put any local need on the county's educational agenda. State laws confer this right to extension councils.
County extension council members and MU Extension faculty act as educational brokers, putting the interests and concerns of local people together with the resources of our land-grant university so people can obtain their goals. Throughout Missouri, extension councils and MU Extension professionals have identified an array of issues and have found ways University facilities and people can help.
Because extension councils, through federal and state laws, have a legal foundation for operation and a working partnership with MU Extension, the variety and scope of educational programs are nearly unlimited.
