Whereas Extension is a nationwide educational network 

through the land-grant universities, funded cooperatively 

through the Department of Agriculture, State governments, and local county, city, and parish governments; 

Whereas Extension provides non-biased, research-based information through informal education to help adults, youth, 

families, farms, businesses, and communities; 

Whereas Extension education programs are developed at the 

grassroots level to meet local needs, and are available in 

nearly every county and parish in the United States and 

its territories, from the biggest to the smallest; 

Whereas information offered by Extension is provided by scientists and researchers at land-grant universities, and is 

made practical and relevant by Extension educators 

working at the local level; 

Whereas Extension Family and Consumer Sciences educators 

are advocates for education for families so that the families might gain skills for a full and productive life; and 

Whereas the designation of the second week of March 2005 

as ‘‘Extension Living Well Week’’ is a fitting tribute to 

the National Extension Association for Family and Consumer Sciences professionals who provide education that 

is critical to the quality of life of adults, youth, individuals, and families, including food preparation, food safety, nutrition, financial management, healthy lifestyles, 

home and work environment and safety, relationship and 

parenting skills, and much more: Now, therefore, be it
