Greene County Extension Center

County extension council

The county extension council, comprised of elected and appointed citizens, is a full partner with Missouri's land-grant universities to deliver high-quality education and research-based information that helps people solve real-world problems and take advantage of opportunities.

Council members:

Work with extension specialists to provide the county educational program
Manage finances of local extension operations
Provide personnel to carry out extension activities
Elect and organize the local extension council

The Greene County Extension Council meets at 5:30 p.m. on the last Monday of the month at the Springfield-Greene County Botanical Center. Meetings are held in compliance with the Missouri Open Meetings and Open Records Law. We are always looking for volunteers willing to serve on the Greene County Extension Council. If you would like to run for an elected seat please download the council informational form and the nomination form found in the "plans and reports" section of this webpage.
