Message from the Associate Vice-President and Director of Extension
Sorry about the delay in Tuesday Extension Notes – this was my fault. I’ve been playing catch-up for the past two days. However, I can report that I had a great visit with Cochise County Extension yesterday, part of my annual county visits. We had lunch with the Cochise County Advisory Board and faculty. In addition to excellent green chile enchiladas, I received input from the Board and how they are ready to help support Cochise County Extension. Carol Holden, the new CED, has about 60 days on the job, and for Haley Chappell, the new 4-H Agent, Monday was her first day! I was happy to hear and see the support from the Board for these new agents and their willingness to work closely with all the faculty and staff. I was equally pleased to meet with the staff from the county offices and hear their enthusiasm and support of Extension. I look forward to seeing what impacts Cochise County Cooperative Extension will have this year. Many thanks to all the community supporters and the faculty and staff working to make Cochise County Cooperative Extension a success.

Check Out Our NewNeeds Assessment Dashboard
This year, the CRED team developed an interactive dashboard that allows users to parse the data in numerous useful ways. With the dashboard, you can explore how priorities differ among groups – such as rural, older, or low-income residents – across Arizona's 15 counties. The data can help inform programming decisions. Anyone can access the dashboard by completing this online form.
During a breakout session at 3:30 p.m., August 2 (Session 1E) at the Arizona Cooperative Extension annual conference, the CRED team will lead a workshop on how to use the dashboard. If you attend this session, please come with a laptop so that you can explore it firsthand!

| Does Your Program Need Spanish Translation?
If so, please reach out to our new Spanish translator, Jessica Guzman, via our ticketing system. And please welcome Jessica to the Arizona Cooperative Extension team:
My name is Jessica Guzman. I am majoring in Biology with an emphasis on Biomedical Sciences and Spanish with a General emphasis. I am also minoring in Korean. I am a first generation student at the university and native Spanish speaker. I like to learn new things and hope to learn a lot through working with Extension while I help you engage other Spanish-speaking communities. I have many hobbies, however, my current favorite in my free time is cross-stitching and binge-watching k-dramas. I look forward to working with you.
