________________________________
Good morning,

At the last "First Friday" presentation and at the ensuing ECOP Executive Committee meeting, directors and administrators articulated the need for national talking points regarding Extension capacity funding. On behalf of ECOP Chair Vonda Richardson, I forward you said attached national talking points. I encourage you to couple these with state, regional, or local impacts that will resonate with the target audience.

Sincerely,


Bill Hoffman
Executive Director, Cooperative Extension System &
Extension Committee on Organization and Policy
Assistant Vice President
The Association of Public and Land Grant Universities
