Executive Director, Barbara Boyer, to Retire in December

Barbara Boyer, executive director of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Wyoming County, has announced her retirement effective at the end of this year. Barb has served as the association's executive director since 1999. She has also been the association's Family and Consumer Sciences Program Leader, a position she has held since joining CCE in April of 1998.

Barb's accomplishments in her time with CCE are many. She established a collaborative learning center with the Warsaw satellite of Genesee Community College and the Batavia-Wyoming YMCA. She was a key facilitator of the CCE-Wyoming strategic plan and a proponent of both improving their current facility, and of a current effort to create options for a new CCE Center. Barb has authored a biweekly column for the Batavia Daily News on Family Matters, and won a state award and a national honorable mention for one article. Statewide, she is currently chair of the ACCEE Professional Development Committee.

Barb has been an energetic link between CCE and the Wyoming community. She is on Board of Directors for the local Business Education Council, an active member of the local Family Violence Task Force of Wyoming County, and a United Way Cabinet member for the past four years. She also serves on the Healthy Community Alliance Board of Directors for the Route 39 corridor. We wish Barb success and enjoyment in a well-earned retirement!
