IN THIS ISSUE... ...Word
from the Associate Director - Extension and Applied Research WORD FROM THE
ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR - EXTENSION AND APPLIED RESEARCH In our system of recognition and merit, we still have a lot to learn about the art of evaluating and recognizing the importance of contributions made by individuals in support of the overall team goals and intended outcomes. We have a performance evaluation system that is structured towards recognition of individual accomplishments. We continue to look for ways to better recognize team accomplishments as means by which we create our greatest impacts. Great teamwork comes through coaching and commitment to team goals. Individual goals must align with the team goals to be successful. I appreciate each of you and the work you do in leadership, support, and service as a part of the greater team of K-State Research and Extension in helping all of us to exceed the expectations of our stakeholders and our public. May you have a most blessed Christmas and Happy New Year. May you fill your heart with joy and happiness. May you make all those special "connections" with family and friends. And, may your travels be safe. I look forward to connecting back with you in 2006. --Daryl Buchholz dbuchhol@k-state.edu

KANSAS 4-H HORSE
ACHIEVEMENT LEVEL TESTING GOES "ON-LINE" In addition, counties can check the status of all of their members at any time. Actually, we would like for each county to check their county listing to let us know those that are no longer 4-H members so we can keep the data base up to date. Skill tests will still be processed in much the same way as in the past. We also plan to post the procedures as a "Help" file at the on-line site. Please help us begin the New Year by trying this new process. --James P. Adams jadams@oznet.ksu.edu
