16 Hard working committed people who want Extension to be successful and meet the needs of our clientele
17 talented, committed staff who believe in what we do
18 the high regard in which The Ohio State University is held by our citizens. Everyone knows the Universityeven though they may not agree with everything the University does.
19 It's people
20 The greatest strength is 4-H. More people recognize its logo than recognize Extension's logo. When I wear my Extension logo shirts, most people think that I have come from Columbus to do the class. We need for Extension to be as well recognized as 4-H. The best scenario would be to be better recognized than 4-H. For the most part I find hard workers and knowledgeable people working in Extension at the County level. In October, I will celebrate my 6th anniversary of working in Extension. There has never been a consistent focus or direction. There is a constant reorganization of districts, regions, specialists, offices, and so on. Now we are going to get a new strategic plan! WOW! Some people in the upper levels need to stop reinventing the wheel and get to work on the best PR possible for Extension or some Counties will be down the tubes, because the Strategic Plan just doesn't fit all of the Counties' needs!
21 providing educational information
22 People - Professionals
23 Its programs
24 the dedication of its employees but they are not being rewarded, acknowledged or supported and that dedication is crumbling
25 Its employees, its partnerships, its cmmitment and adaptability to local needs.
