Summary
Division of Extension Dean Karl Martin provided an update on several items, including priority areas of focus for the Division of Extension: exploring the best possibilities for new and existing funding resources, engaging with CALS partners to demonstrate to constituents the benefits of the transfer of the Division to UW–Madison, and adapting to the information era by using innovative program delivery methods to diversify audiences.
The state legislature’s Joint Committee on Finance is slated to approve ongoing funding for new Extension positions, including three Extension-funded faculty positions in CALS.
Division of Extension institute directors were invited to join the meeting. CALS Extension-funded faculty and staff and institute directors engaged in conversation over a social lunch.
