Effective Handbook Production And Distribution, Je Beuerlein, Zr Helsel, Jm Woodruff
Effective Handbook Production And Distribution, Je Beuerlein, Zr Helsel, Jm Woodruff
Journal of Extension
The lesson to be learned...is that promotion ad distribution of educational materials are of prime importance to the success of such projects. Outstanding educational materials are of little value unless they reach the intended clientele. Delivery systems for interdepartmental educational materials and projects can be successful only when their promotion and distribution are planned for, supported, and managed from the higher levels of administration. While the creators of handbooks are responsible for content and presentation quality, they shouldn't be responsible for the organized promotion and distribution.

Conflicts Of Interest And The Land-Grant Mission, Richard E. Fowler
Journal of Extension
The system's relationship with the private sector is vital. Existing and new challenges require the public/private sector team approach to solve problems. The need to develop conflict of interest guidelines is now incumbent on each state or territory receiving Smith-Lever funds. University employees, especially research and Extension faculty, need to be aware of potential conflicts of interest and avoid such conflicts through circumspect behavior, good communications, careful planning, and diligent program implementation.

Journal of Extension
I fear that some may indeed miss a broader and equally important point for the system-the point that the ECOP chair chose to focus attention on an ethical question. How well have CES leaders done in leading and modeling integrity when more than half of the farmers...believe that, "...producer's ethical standards have slipped over the past 10 years,"...

Extension agricultural programs face new challenges in building and sustaining relationships with agricultural industry groups.

Editor's Page, M Q. P
Journal of Extension
I received a submission from a senior administrative staff person in a state Extension office. The article discussed problems with doing meaningful personnel evaluations in Extension and concluded that Extension has accumulated "a lot of dead weight that is seriously undermining effectiveness." The author asked that, if accepted, the article be published anonymously. "I would put my Extension career in serious jeopardy if this were published under my name. But I can't have this published with my name on it. It's just too risky. The system can be very vindictive." The policy of the Journal of Extension is not to …
