Program Committees

Cornell Cooperative Extension Association of Jefferson County has five board-appointed program committees.

The purpose of the program committees is to provide feedback and advice to Extension. They function as a mirror of the community, so that our staff can be better informed of what seems to be going well, and what might be considered for addition or deletion in a program area. The program committees do not have any direct program supervision responsibility; but will serve in an important advisory capacity to the educators, the program leaders, the executive director, and the board of directors.

Program committee members are listed below:
