Training Modules Available for Board and PDC Members
Being an Extension Board member is an important job, and it can be a daunting task to learn the responsibilities of the job. The New Board Member Orientation module is designed to help new board members understand their role and learn more about the organization. New and continuing board members are encouraged to review the module before they take office and attend their first board meeting.
Board members can complete the module individually, or they can be led through the module by the local unit director, other agents, or current board members. In either situation, board members will also want to learn more about local unit operations, budgets, staffing plans, and agent action plans.
Program Development Committee members provide valuable input about how K-State Research and Extension can address needs in the local community. The Program Development Committee Orientation module helps PDC members better understand their responsibilities. It includes a short video, guidelines for PDC expansion and the PDC member responsibility overview.
