Just a thought....
I think I've been doing enough updates lately, that I decided a couple simple quotes might be useful food for thought.

"If I'd asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry Ford
"Its really hard to design products with a focus group. A lot of times people don't know what they want until you show it to them." - Steve Jobs
Helps us all to think about problems in unique and different ways and to likewise envision creative/innovative solutions. Applicable to how one might tackle an issue or problem as an Extension Professional?
Becoming a Better Advocate. Check out the information in the News section below from Megan Macy regarding a resource for helping you, your board, volunteers, PDC members and anyone who believes in Extension to articulate advocacy. Thanks to Megan for posting these statements, many that came out of our Partnership Meeting discussions.
Have a great week!
