[CED/CD/EAT] Listening Session Planned Dates

Thu Mar 21 16:16:31 MST 2024

Afternoon, All.
The website with the event list for promotion and registration is here: https://extension.arizona.edu/ace-strategic-positioning (Maricopa Co. will be dinner 4/29)

And Claire wrote a great write-up in her newsletter here that I'm sure she'd be ok if we reformatted for our parts of the state:

"I am excited to share that UArizona Cooperative Extension (UACE) will be holding six in-person Listening Sessions across the State to gather thoughts and feedback on key aspects of Cooperative Extension and our impacts within local communities. The first public forum will be held right here in Pima County on April 11 at 5:30 pm with dinner provided. Additional listening sessions will be held in Yuma, Maricopa County, Safford, the Verde Valley, and Holbrook. These facilitated sessions will offer opportunities to share your thoughts and to hear the perspectives of others in attendance. We are particularly interested in hearing your thoughts on our current offerings, challenges, opportunities, and aspirations for the future. As part of the meeting, the UA team will combine and synthesize responses, so that you can immediately learn how your ideas compare and combine with those of your fellow participants. I hope you will Register for the Pima County Listening Session, to be held in Vail, Arizona, at the UA Tech Park (Building 9030, 9070 S. Rita Road), or any of the other sessions if they are convenient for you. To learn more about the overall scope of our strategic positioning process, please visit the UACE Strategic Positioning Website<https://extension.arizona.edu/ace-strategic-positioning>. Your input will be instrumental in informing our future and ensuring that our efforts align with the needs and expectations of our statewide community members. Fostering this collaboration is an important step toward fulfilling our mission of supporting agriculture, youth development, and community education in Arizona."

Cheers,
Scott

Cathy and other Directors,

I think you should plan on attending at least one nearby session. I know for some, nearby means over an hour's drive. I think the committee did the best they could in scheduling these events.

All are welcome, and I would not hesitate to close an office for a few hours  (or a day) to allow faculty and staff to attend and participate, if feasible. I will leave that to your discretion.

I hope this helps.

Ed
