People support decisions they help to make, and Cornell
Cooperative Extension believes strongly in shared leadership through
locally elected Boards of Directors and active program development
committees.
Cornell Cooperative Extension of Rockland County is governed by a 13 member Board of Directors that consists of 13 elected community volunteers and a representative from Cornell
University. It includes people from towns throughout Rockland County who
bring their knowledge of community needs and concerns to the governance
of this organization. Our board sets policy, hires staff, prioritizes
educational programs and works with Extension's educational staff to
ensure program effectiveness.
Program Committees for each of our
issue areas guide the direction of the workshops, classes and other
services that we offer the residents of Rockland County, and review the
effectiveness of our efforts. Our programs have evolved over the years
to reflect changes in values, ethics, community norms, family
structures, mobility and the economy in direct response to this
grassroots community involvement.
CCE-Rockland is delighted to
have active and diverse Board of Directors and Program Committees, which
are key to achieving strong and meaningful community impacts! If, as
you read more about how we are governed, you believe you have a
contribution to make to our programming as a volunteer, please get in
touch! We welcome your input and ideas!
