Mission:

University of Missouri Extension improves people’s lives with education and research from the four campuses of the University of Missouri System and Lincoln University focusing on high-priority needs of people throughout the state.  Each county extension center, with oversight by locally elected and appointed citizens, is your local link to these unbiased resources.

 

MU Extension provides leaders, coaches, coordinators, facilitators and teachers of learning experiences to help individuals, families, group members and community organizations make confident and competent decisions.

 

 

MU Extension regional specialists, in partnerships with community groups and government agencies, provide educational programming and socioeconomic solutions to address pressing concerns of Marion County residents and the Northeast Region of Missouri.

Inclusive Planning:

Education is key to improving the quality of life for all citizens.  University of Missouri Extension through its staff, advisory group members, unique governmental partnership and innovative collaboration at the local, multi-county and state level is committed to helping people set and reach their own goals.

Methods:

Barn, neighborhood, community or county/multi-county meetings; workshops; conferences; short courses; consultations (e-mail, phone, web board, in-person); newsletters; news articles; TV; radio; guide sheets; DVDs; videotapes; satellite downlinks; web pages; interactive television; test result interpretation; computer-aided instruction; small group-process challenges; and guided study.

 

Equal opportunity is and shall be provided to all participants in Extension programs and activities, and for all employees and applicants for employment on the basis of their demonstrated ability and competence without discrimination on the basis of their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability or status as a Vietnam-era veteran. This policy shall not be interpreted in such a manner as to violate the legal rights of religious organizations or military organizations associated with the armed forces of the United States of America.


Greetings:

We are pleased to offer a highlight of programs conducted this year in Marion County.

Most topics are initiated and guided through input to the Extension Council from citizens and/or content area groups.

Interaction with other agencies, through a variety of networks and collaborations plus applied research projects contribute as well to the direction of the overall educational program offerings.

Several methods are used to assist a “diverse student body” in lifelong learning pursuits.

We continue to salute our many volunteers, community leaders and extension council members, past and present, who continue giving time and talents supporting the mission.

 Salute!

Yours truly,


Glenn Wagner 
Council President 
 

Becky Sharpe
Council Secretary
