UW-Extension realignment places Buffalo County in Area 5; Dr. Kari Weiss introduced
Summary
UW-Extension implemented a staffing realignment that moved Buffalo County into Area 5. Area 5 Extension Director Dr. Kari Weiss was introduced and expressed enthusiasm about working with Buffalo County staff and programs.
The Agriculture and Extension Education Subcommittee heard that UW-Extension has implemented a new staffing model that realigned its areas, moving Buffalo County into Area 5. Sarah Torbert, the Area 9 Extension Director, introduced Dr. Kari Weiss, who serves as the Area 5 Extension Director and was presented to the committee as the local area lead.
Dr. Weiss, newly responsible for Buffalo County under the realignment, "expressed enthusiasm to be working in Buffalo County," according to the meeting minutes. The minutes do not record additional details about an Area 5 transition plan, timelines, or immediate changes to local programs; an agenda item labeled "Area Extension Director Report" appears later in the minutes but contains no substantive details (not specified).
