In most universities and colleges, and certainly in CALS, the college administration distributes resources, responsibilities for program development and delivery, as well the authority to manage resources and programs to the unit level (i.e., departments, schools, centers, county offices and support units). In CALS, the college administrative Executive Council (EC) directs that responsibility and authority to the unit leaders. This model of distributed management is perhaps most accentuated in Cooperative Extension where we have an Extension Administrative Team (EAT). The EAT includes an Assistant Dean and Associate Directors for Extension with the responsibility of leadership for their program areas (Family, Consumer, and Health Sciences; 4-H Youth Development; Agriculture and Natural Resources; and American Indian Programs) and integrations among these program areas with the unit heads and faculty that are based in every unit in the college.<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 this distributed model of management it is incumbent upon the CALS EC to clearly communicate the mission, vision, and directions for the college. It is then the unit leader’s responsibility to appropriately communicate and implement programs at the unit level consistent with the mission, vision, and directions that are put forth by the appropriate branch of the college administration. This distributed model extends to the faculty and staff within units who are actually directing and implementing the programs for the college. Quite appropriately, this leads to a significant amount of variation among units in terms of the final form and manifestation of the programs at the unit level due to the extremely variable nature of the college in terms of locations and types of programs that are being delivered. We expect several things to be dealt with in a uniform manner at the unit level including: fiscal responsibility, appropriate management of personnel, delivery of strong and effective programs, a robust and professional culture, and a commitment to productivity. The unit leaders are reviewed accordingly and their reviews of faculty and staff at the unit level should be consistent with this overall approach. Thus, we are all accountable for our duties and responsibilities within the college.<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"'>As it commonly occurs in organizations like CALS, we have experienced a lot of change in the past year with regard to individuals serving in unit leader roles across CALS. This kind of flux and the fact that we are operating in a distributed model of management in CALS highlights the importance of these unit leaders. There is a high demand and premium on individuals who have the inclination and capacity to lead and manage effectively at the unit level. The CALS EC and EAT fully recognize the importance of these positions and we are committed to working with all unit leaders in an effort to support their units, enhance the unit’s capacities among the faculty and staff, and facilitate appropriate alignment with the college mission, vision, and direction.<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><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>FOCUS ON FACULTY:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Cathy Martinez</span></b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>, FCHS Agent in Pinal County, was selected and has successfully completed the Leadership Development Academy sponsored by Children's Action Alliance.
