Message from the Interim Director of Extension
Last week I attended the 2022 NUEL Conference. NUEL stands for National Urban Extension Leaders. The conference keyed on Extension programming in urban areas and how professionals from across the country are developing new programs and approaches to help stakeholders in our urban sectors. Overall, the conference was very informative and gave me the opportunity to share what we are doing here in Arizona and learn from others. As our cities and metropolitan areas continue to grow, we will need to adjust our programming and approaches. However, as these cities grow, the need for food and fiber will also grow. Therefore, we need to ensure we continue and strengthen our support for our rural stakeholders. Working with all Arizonans, Extension can help improve lives throughout our great state.

Once you click the survey link, you will be given additional information about consenting to the survey, then will have the opportunity to either begin answering survey questions or decline to take part in the survey.
