County and Cabinet Connections and Conversation

Communication is a constant challenge and priority in any organization. Communication is more than just sharing information; it is equally important to listen. OSU Extension’s administrative cabinet continues to explore ways to get feedback from our organization. Since counties currently have virtual staff meetings, one opportunity is for a cabinet member to attend your meeting. They would be there to listen and possibly answer questions you have. They would not come with an agenda or talking points; and they will bring your questions back for follow-up if necessary. This should not preempt any pressing business you need to conduct during your meeting; Cabinet members will simply be joining you to learn more about your county’s current work. We will work on scheduling these visits over the coming months, and we will confirm who will be listening in for which local meeting.
