Extension Advisory Committee

Ohio State University Extension is a grassroots organization that addresses needs of local constituents and Ohioans statewide through a variety of educational programs and services. Advice and guidance from local volunteers is essential for success, helping ensure that the local and statewide Extension program is relevant and addressing the highest priority needs. In addition to providing input into program priorities and direction, the local committee serves as a strong voice for OSU Extension with current and potential funding partners, program collaborators, and community members. While not a policy board, the county-based Extension advisory committee’s role is to advise, assist, and support the local program and staff.

The committee should include a wide variety of members who represent the diversity of: geography, age (including youth), race and ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, program area (agriculture and natural resources, family and consumer sciences, 4-H youth development, and community development), political affiliation and perspective, membership characteristics identified locally (i.e., representation from a specific partners)
