IN THIS ISSUE... ...Word from the
Associate Director - Extension and Applied Research WORD FROM THE
ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR - EXTENSION AND APPLIED RESEARCH K-State Research and Extension has a large number of persons who have been through NC NELD, as well as other leadership learning experiences. I am a believer in such experiences. A great, long-term value one takes away is the connections you make with other Extension professionals in the class. Additionally, the experience will open your mind to the different ways Extension has been successful in reaching audiences and creating impact across the country. At the same time, you will gain exposure to some outstanding educators leading those NELD sessions. All such benefits are positive for K-State Research and Extension, because they are positive for you! If you haven't given much thought to applying for NC NELD, take a look at the long list of those who have been through one of these experiences. You can find the list at http://www.oznet.ksu.edu/prev/ProfDev/Participant%20Directory.pdf . Ask anyone on that list about the experience. I am sure you will get positive testimony from all. Further information about the 2005 program, including locations of the seminars, will soon be available at http://www.uwex.edu/ces/neld/ . Application form is available at http://www.oznet.ksu.edu/prev/neld%20application%20form.doc . Applicants must be able to fully participate in all four seminars. If you have questions or desire additional information, contact me, Marie Blythe, current class members: Jodi Besthorn and Twig Marston, or anyone on that list of past participants. Don't pass up the chance! Completed application forms should be returned to Marie Blythe, 127 Umberger Hall, by October 1. Selected agents/faculty members will be notified by October 15, 2004. --Daryl Buchholz dbuchhol@oznet.ksu.edu
