ANR is forming task forces to evaluate UC Cooperative Extension structure in the counties. Cooperative Extension advisors and county-based program representatives are being asked to nominate one person per county to join the county director for their respective county on a county structure task force. The deadline for nominations is Friday, May 20.
The county structure task forces will be charged with collecting the data on staffing, facilities, transportation, information technology and administration for their county CE programs, including funding from UC, county government, grants and other sources. This information will be organized and will serve as the basis for evaluating our future structure of local delivery. The task forces will be organized around counties with historical affinities, and in some cases from declarations by the counties that they want to pursue a multi-county partnership within the grouping. The ultimate structure of our county programs will be informed from evaluation of the data provided by these task forces and other study groups within ANR.
The county groupings for each task force are as follows:
- Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo, Santa Clara
- Butte, Tehama, Glenn, Sutter, Colusa, Yuba
- Fresno, Madera, Tulare, Kings, Kern
- Humboldt, Del Norte, Mendocino, Lake
- Marin, Sonoma, Napa
- Imperial, San Diego, Riverside
- Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino
- Mariposa, Merced, Stanislaus, San Joaquin
- Modoc, Siskiyou, Shasta, Trinity
- Monterey, San Benito, Santa Cruz
- Placer-Nevada, Sacramento, Yolo, Solano
- San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura
Each task force charge will be finalized and communicated as soon as the task force members have been identified.
