Program Advisory Councils
Each agent will have a county program
council (or council committee).
Program councils are subordinate to
the County Extension Council.
Representatives from the program
councils will be on the County
Extension Council.
All program councils may not have the
same structure beyond the county
level. (In this time of transition,
flexibility is vital).
Contact agents may be assigned to
work with multi-county, region, or
district program coordination.
