In my work with the EAT group, I appreciate how critical it is for all these position to continue to be effective, and we need to continue to capitalize on the excellent expertise and experience the ADs carry and can contribute to the administration of CALS Extension. Thus, in the development of the structural and operational plans for the CALS Extension Administration unit, I am charging these ADs with the responsibility of providing direct leadership in the development and delivery of Extension programs in their respective areas. This includes working with the Extension faculty in the counties, on reservations, in departments, and at Research and Extension Centers to help coordinate our programs and personnel. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>In line with these responsibilities, I am tasking ADs to review the position descriptions, annual performance reports, and reviews at the unit level for all Extension faculty who carry any fractional amount of Extension responsibility. The purpose of these new personnel responsibilities is to evaluate the alignment and effectiveness of our Extension programs across CALS. My hope is that we should find direct and accurate relationships between the Extension appointments for all faculty on the college records and the position descriptions. Similarly, we should document good alignment between the responsibilities described on position descriptions, the annual performance reports, and the faculty member’s Extension programs. Collectively, and across each program area (ANR, FCHS, etc.), we should be able to make an accurate assessment of the breadth, scope, and effectiveness of Extension programs currently being conducted by faculty. Reporting relationships are unaffected by this action. All Extension faculty will continue to report to the unit head. However, I do expect there to be direct and active lines of interaction between the ADs and the CEDs, Department Heads, and Extension faculty.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The EAT group is also reviewing all of the Phase II strategic planning responses that have been developed by each of the County Extension Directors (CEDs) as well as the three regional planning groups that have been organized for this purpose.

We have assembled a Centennial Planning Committee that includes agents, youth, 4-H volunteers, 4-H Foundation board members, and staff from our office to help strategize on how best to mark this milestone during the coming year, develop a theme and engage everyone. Our goal is to use this anniversary to increase public awareness of 4-H, raise funds for the 4-H Foundation, and create a 4-H alumni database. We hope to have a wide variety of events going on throughout the state in 2013 and every county will have a chance to get involved.

However, most scanning software does not delete the temp files and these accumulate through time. Generally, it is the number (not the size) of temp files in the Temp folder that clogs up the computer.

Caregivers will hear from and ask questions of panelists including legal experts, CPS, local guidance professionals, Victims Witness and other resource agencies. Two workshops will also be offered on “Facing Court Without Fear” and “Developing a Plan for Your Grandchild’s Best Future.” Caregivers should preregister with JoAnne Barcellano (928.774.1868, ext. 100). Preregistration is $5 for a single caregiver and $10 per couple. Registration on the day of the workshop is $10 & $15.
