County faculty need to work as a team through the entire planning process. County faculty should work together on initial planning activities but may input to the larger planning process through work teams. We must find a way to encourage team delivery of educational programs after the planning process, but still show the value of the individual activity. The language of all guidance for program planning and reporting should encourage team activity. Extension committees should be involved in guiding the county comprehensive planning process.
Counties can contribute names to the survey research lab for the statewide survey.
County information then should be available for local use. Work with the civil rights committee to ensure the diversity of community members involved in the planning process. Counties need to identify and take into consideration all the planning processes taking place in their communities. We need to develop models for all the counties on how they might approach program planning and how they would choose which planning tools to use.
