2002 Recommendations:
Membership dues should include the District, State and National Associations of County Agricultural Agents. Participation at all levels is encouraged.
Membership should be encouraged by each District Membership Services Chairman. All new agents should receive a personal contact by District Membership Services Chairman inviting them to join NCACAA. County Directors should notify the District Membership Chairman of new agents. Maintaining a high percentage of membership is important since DSA's and voting delegates are determined by total membership.
County Extension Directors who do not carry agricultural
responsibilities should be encouraged by the County Agents
Association District Director to join because of their
supervisory responsibilities for agricultural programs.
Dues should be sent by the District Treasurer to the state
treasurer
by January 1 of each year. Dues are past due to the National
Treasurer after March 15.
All new agents should be encouraged to join any time during the
year.
All agents should develop and maintain strong county Extension
programs while using the Extension logo to make
the general public and governmental officials more aware of
the Extension's role and accomplishments. Evidence of
sound, innovative, and effective county programs can be used
by the administration in an effort to obtain funds for
salary and other budget needs.
County agents should be encouraged to become members of the State
Employees Association
We recommend the continuation of the sale of caps and shirts by
the
Membership Services Committee.
We recognize the seriousness of the current budget situation and
We
would like to suggest that Extension Administration
continue efforts to influence legislation on the state level
which will be beneficial to the Cooperative Extension Service,
especially pertaining to salaries, benefits and funding.
