Without sufficient credibility anything we offer in an educational exchange will not be effective. <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"'>I agree with the idea that credibility really consists of three components: <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"'> Credibility = competency + integrity + relationships<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 first two components are readily apparent and familiar to most of us. Competency results from having expertise and the ability to effectively apply that expertise. Integrity encompasses a person’s honesty, reliability, and the value of their work. Collectively, competency and integrity provide the foundation for individual, program, or organizational credibility. However, I think there is a third critical component associated with credibility that is based on “relationships”. Developing and maintaining strong relationships are extremely important in establishing and maintaining credibility in Extension programs.<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"'>Thus, when I say that CALS Cooperative Extension must be recognized as a credible organization in every arena that we work in, I am emphasizing the importance of the competency, integrity, and relationships that are associated with each person delivering Extension programs. This not only includes Extension educators but everyone working in an office or what might be considered a “support” capacity. Every person working in CALS Cooperative Extension is directly related to and responsible for the credibility of the organization. This always begins with each individual, the program or office they are associated with, and ultimately the entire organization of CALS Cooperative Extension.<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 consistency of strong relationships associated with credibility serve as an important distinguishing feature between Extension and Outreach programs. Outreach programs are often one-time events directed by competent people with good integrity. In an Outreach effort someone will often go out into communities, make a presentation or conduct a program, and then return to campus or their home base without any or very much follow up. Extension programs in contrast not only have a base in every county in the state but they have consistency and follow through. People working in Extension program delivery return to communities and groups they are working with repeatedly, often for many years, and they are readily accessible to those groups on a long-term basis. As a result, relationships are formed, nurtured, and developed over time; and credibility is tested and demonstrated regularly. Collectively, this contributes to the credibility of the Extension professionals, their programs, and CALS Cooperative Extension as a whole. Only with credibility that consists of strong relationships can we effectively achieve Extension education objectives.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:red'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>PROMOTION & CONTINUING STATUS/TENURE WORKSHOPS:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:red'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The provost's office is conducting a series of workshops on promotion and continuing status/tenure:<br><br><o:p></o:p></span></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1'><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Going up for Full</span></b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> - </span><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>April 4, 3:30-5:00pm, Meinel Room 305: A panel discussion cosponsored with the Association of Women Faculty that explores how to document the impact of administrative and service commitments that too often delay promotions.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1'><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Preparing the Promotion Dossier </span></b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>- </span><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>April 15, 3:30-5:00pm, Ventana Room Student Union, with collaborators Peter Lance, Marie-Pierre Le Hir & Charles Adams: General presentation on preparing dossiers for candidates and reviewers.
