Such invitations should be consistent with the Extension plan of work. Plans of work generally designate target audiences. The effectiveness with which an agent is personally involved in reaching these audiences is important. Agents should be teachers and not just arrangers of teachers. The most important promotion evaluation criteria involves positive client change.
Extension is client driven and, as a result, client change is a measure of one's effectiveness.
Demonstrations which have resulted in adopted practices are noteworthy. Successful projects, whether joint or personal, that have directly enhanced beneficial client change are viewed positively. The file should demonstrate how new knowledge has been infused into the program for client benefit. Diverse audiences are important to the vision of Extension delivery. The extent to which an agent delivers programs to a diverse population is important.
