REMEMBER
TO COMPLETE SURVEY ON WORK WITH LATINO AUDIENCES
On October 24, David Youmans sent an email message to ALL EXTENSION,
requesting your help with an important program challenge. David
is completing an initial program inventory for the organization,
with a view toward the subsequent identification by Extension Administration
of a Hispanic Initiative Team who could provide guidance for WSU
Extension. To build the inventory of programs, staff interest and
needed resources, a survey was sent via email to you to document
current Extension Hispanic/Latino-focused activities/programs. It
is important that every faculty, AP or staff member fill out the
survey.
Please
submit your responses to David
Youmans, WSU-Prosser, by NOVEMBER 10.
