Overview
of County Director Responsibilities |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The
basic role of the WSU County Extension Director is that of using human,
financial, and other resources in combination to accomplish organizational
goals and objectives consistent with the WSU Extension Strategic Plan.
The County Director is charged to provide the vision, creativity,
and innovative thinking necessary to properly lead the local Extension
Office. This charge includes applying good management, which "does
the right things" in an orderly manner to achieve clearly stated
goals. Additionally, the County Director must provide leadership,
which involves doing the "right things" through vision,
creativity, innovation, and the empowerment of others. |

County
Directors are normally appointed to a four-year term, but under special
circumstances a shorter term may be designated. Appointments are effective
from July 1 through June 30 of the designated years. Reappointment
is not automatic and is subject to review every four years. The assignment
carries no tenure and is an administrative function for the County
Extension Office, with responsibility as a Department Head in County
Government in most Washington Counties. All County Director appointments
are made by the Dean and Director of WSU Extension upon the recommendation
of the District Director. The position of County Director carries
an administrative stipend added to the faculty member's base salary
and is commensurate with the extent of administrative responsibility.
The stipend is removed if an individual relinquishes or is removed
from the County Director assignment.
