New State Extension Advisory Council Members Elected

Submitted by Jim Lindquist

Welcome to the new members of the State Extension Advisory Council who were elected by local board chairs in December. They will serve a four year term from 2021 through 2024.

They are:
Amy Miller, Shawnee County
Lisa Brummett, Riley County
Sandy Keas, Phillip-Rooks District
Dan Mosier, Wildcat District
Anne Lampe, West Plains District

You can learn more about these newly elected representatives by viewing their bios on the State Extension Advisory Council page of the Board Leadership website.

Prospective council members must have served at least two years and currently be, or within the past two years have been, on their local Extension Board. They fulfill four-year terms as an advisory group to the Director for Extension. The 20-member advisory council meets in February and August. The February meeting is normally in Topeka and includes legislative visits. This year the meeting will be virtual. The August meeting location rotates around the state and features different K-State Research and Extension programming.

In April, four members typically travel to Washington, D.C. to participate in the Public Issues Leadership Development Conference and to visit U.S. Representatives' and Senators' offices. The purpose is to educate and advocate on behalf of K-State Research and Extension, communicating how important the federal investment is in allowing us to continue to positively impact the lives of Kansans, and thank them for their continued support. The PILD meeting will also be virtual this year.
