Commissioners appoint members to the Extension advisory board and name a liaison to CSU Extension
Summary
Following interviews, the board appointed four community members to the county extension advisory board and designated Commissioner Cali Scritchfield as the county liaison to Colorado State University Extension as the county recruits a new extension director.
The board interviewed several applicants for the Rio Blanco County Extension Advisory Board and appointed four members to revitalize extension outreach in the county. Applicants emphasized priorities including increased programming for producers, 4-H and youth development, resource outreach, and rebuilding connections between local producers and the land-grant extension service.
Commissioners praised the applicants’ experience and agreed to be an active advisory board to support the incoming extension director. The board also formally appointed Commissioner Cali Scritchfield as the liaison to Colorado State University Extension to provide a single point of contact for the new director and the advisory group.
Commissioners asked staff to help coordinate local participation in the statewide hiring process and to keep the board involved as the new extension director is onboarded.
