Plugged In: For UMaine Extension Staff and Volunteers

This group of volunteers (committee members listed below), from various areas and programs of UMaine Extension, will decide where we “steer” this ship called “Extension” and collectively work to determine our short-term and long-term horizons. Their work will be drawn from the recommendations made by the five Roadmap-themed committees, and staff survey voting results, from the 2021 UMaine Extension Virtual All Staff Conference, Building the Roadmap for Extension’s Future, March 16-18, 2021, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
