Collier County 4-H

WE WANT TO KNOW AND WE’RE ALL EARS! This effort will allow us to have a clear path of action as an educational organization that is relevant and flexible to meet the changing needs of collier’s communities. We are here to support Collier's economy, environment, and people. It has been several years since we had a comprehensive long range planning effort and much has changed in Collier and in Florida. When we consider our budget situation, advancements in technology and emerging issues, it is critical we reexamine our programmatic priorities and teaching strategies. Listening will be at the core of Extension's long range planning effort. Extension seeks to acquire diverse viewpoints regarding the future of our programming through listening sessions, interviews, focus groups and surveys, with community leaders, local government, business, industry/trade associations, state agencies, health care providers, educators, citizens, etc. In other words- everyone! After the session, the University Extension Staff will formulate a county plan that reflects the educational priorities and future directions identified during the listening process. Implementation of the plan will begin with county faculty providing leadership to identify appropriate teaching approaches, educational content/materials, and outcome/impact measures for the organization. When? Thursday, April 28, 2011 6:00 PM Where? Collier County Headquarters Library, 2385 Orange Blossom Drive Who? Anyone. . . Everyone. . . All Collier County Citizens are encouraged to attend and participate.
