STAFFING
SHIFTS
The
expansion of both food stamp nutrition education and diabetes education
are strategic priorities for Extension family living programs. Staffing
changes are being made to facilitate these expansion efforts.
We
are shifting Elaine Mayes' responsibilities into statewide leadership
for the Food Sense program (which includes both EFNEP and Food Stamp
Nutrition Education). At the same time, Sue Butkus will reduce the
time she devotes to Food Sense in order to focus more energy on
the expansion of diabetes education. Spokane County will backfill
behind Elaine to staff county responsibilties for EFNEP.
Elaine
is well prepared to take on these new responsibilities. She has
20 years experience in EFNEP and 4 years with the FSNEP program.
She has already been involved in statewide activities for these
programs, working with FSNEP Program Coordinator Kathleen Manenica
on evaluation and recordkeeping systems. Elaine's major responsibilities
will be expansion of the FSNEP program, working on development of
the 2003 FSNEP contract, and stategic planning for the direction
of the Food Sense program. She will also be laying the groundwork
for development and adoption of a new curriculum for low income
nutrition education programs.
We
will evaluate the effectiveness of these staffing changes in one
year to determine whether the structure is working well both for
the faculty and staff, and for the overall programs. We are grateful
to Elaine, Sue and Kathleen for their commitment to low income nutrition
programs and their flexibility in taking on new responsibilities
to aid in our expansion efforts.
