Extension councils
County Annual Report Guidelines
The Missouri statutes require every county extension council to produce an annual report:
"At the close of each calendar year the council, through its secretary, shall make an annual detailed report to the county court, covering all receipts and expenditures, together with a summary of work undertaken and results accomplished. The report shall be filed with the county court not later than February first, following the close of the year or portion of year covered by the report."
Annual reports should demonstrate how local residents have benefited from extension educational programs. Reports may include client testimonials, evaluation results, newspaper clippings and statistical data supporting the objectives of the local extension program, accomplishments and outcomes.
The county annual report, if prepared with the thought of distribution to a wider audience than the county commission, can be a good marketing and public relations tool.
