Dear BIFS and Organic Farming Research Workgroup members,
A few weeks back ANR leadership held a meeting with workgroup and
coordinating conference chairs and statewide special program directors to
talk about refining the process for obtaining input from workgroups and
special programs on new cooperative extension advisor positions. Please
see below for a message from AVP Rick Standiford about an opportunity for
you as a workgroup member to provide input into this process. You only
have until November 5, 2006 so please take the time to look over possible
new positions and provide your thoughts.
If you do provide input it that you would not mind sharing it would be
helpful to send me a copy so we can keep track of workgroup contributions,
but certainly this is not necessary and the most important thing is to
provide input on the proposed new positions in the agriculture, human and
natural resource areas.
As both of these workgroups have many external clientele members, I
particularly encourage you to take this opportunity to provide your
thoughts on these positions.
Cheers, Jenny

>encourage collaboration and teamwork to address those issues, maintain
>essential activities, and build upon existing preeminence in the Division.

>The identification of the highest priority needs for positions and other

>For the FY 2007-2008 process, ANR regional directors and program Leaders
>have developed "raw" lists of potential advisor positions that might be
>submitted as regional director or program leader budget requests. The
>positions were identified through consultation with county directors,
>advisors and regional planning groups. Input from AES faculty and CE
>specialists came through their participation in workgroups and
>coordinating conferences, and statewide programs. These lists of
>potential positions represent the range of positions that have been
>identified by these diverse groups. They have not been prioritized or
>refined in any manner.

>All ANR members now have the opportunity to review these lists and give
>feedback on individual positions and/or identify programmatic gaps. Input
>may be submitted through November 5.
