ESP-Alpha Rho Corner
Hello All Extension Colleagues,
I would like to talk to you about the Epsilon Sigma Phi professional association for all Extension Professionals. The KSRE chapter is Alpha Rho. Membership of Alpha Rho is open now. Please reach out to me, Candis Stiles, current Alpha Rho chair about membership or your local council contact:
West: Sharon Erickson-Fryback
Central: Jessica Kootz
East: Tara Markley
State: Jonathan Aguilar
Retirees: Linda Beech
If you were a member last year but have not renewed yet for 2025, you might be hearing from your council contact soon!
Our chapter looks forward to doing more communication this year through our e-mail LISTSERV and by Tuesday Letter so everyone can see the benefits of an ESP membership.
We are announcing today that our Endowment funds applications will be accepted until January 10, 2025. If you have something on your winter wish list, maybe a professional development opportunity or funds to start a new program, consider applying for an ESP award!
You can get more information at our Alpha Rho Webpage (eID and password will be needed to view). The Extension Endowment Fund and Jim Lindquist Leadership Scholarship are halfway down on the page. https://www.ksre.k-state.edu/about/employee-resources/employment/professional-development/associations/esp/
Please note the new due date is January 10, 2025, and you can send those applications to our Endowment Chair, Rachael Clews rclews@ksu.edu.
Be on the lookout for more benefits of your ESP Alpha Rho membership in 2025!
