Dr. Ed Martin Appointed Interim Director of University of Arizona Cooperative Extension System

Tue Jun 8 11:21:36 MST 2021

Colleagues and Friends,

I received several extremely well-qualified and supported nominees to become the Interim Director of University of Arizona Cooperative Extension System from both internal and external stakeholders. I would like to thank all the nominees who were prepared to take on a very large responsibility and who went through an extensive review process. I would also like to thank those who put in the time to compile very extensive nominations and those involved in the review.

I would like to announce that Dr. Ed Martin has graciously accepted the position of Interim Director of the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension System, effective June 12. Please join me in wishing Ed well in his new position.

Ed has a BS in Agricultural Engineering and a M.S. in Agricultural and Extension Education both from Michigan State University (MSU) in 1984. He joined MSU Extension as an Associate in Extension working on irrigation programs with Michigan farmers, and he concurrently earned his Ph.D. in Agricultural Technology Management.

Ed has extensive experience in the Arizona Cooperative Extension System: in 1992 he joined the then-Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering as an assistant specialist, in 1998 he was promoted to associate specialist and in 2005 to full rank. In 2007, Ed was appointed Associate Extension Director for Agriculture and Natural Resources. Five years later, he was appointed Maricopa County Cooperative Extension Director. He was honored by our Ag100 Council in 2004 as College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Faculty Member of the Year.

I have asked Ed to appoint an interim director for Maricopa County Cooperative Extension.

I am beginning the process now of getting approval to conduct an international search for the permanent director. If I receive that approval, the next step will be request nominees for the search committee.

Regards,
Shane C. Burgess
