Professional development is incredibly important in an organization like ours. Over the past couple of weeks, many of you in Family and Consumer Sciences and in support staff roles have dedicated time to participate in multiple professional development opportunities. Your engagement shows a commitment not only to personal growth but also to the strength and success of Extension throughout the state.
I know that carving out time for professional development can be hard. With full schedules and often fast-paced workdays, it can feel like a luxury to step away from daily tasks. However, I hope you know how much the benefit pays off. These opportunities allow us to learn new skills, stay current with research, university policies and best practices, and connect with peers.
Thank you for prioritizing your growth as an Extension professional and for prioritizing those you serve every day.
Kindly, David
