NACAA Futuring Committee 2005-2006
NACAA Futuring Committee Charge
The NACAA Futuring Committee
was formed by NACAA President Glenn Rogers
as an ongoing effort to evaluate our organization's future. The committee's
charge was outlined in a letter of January 2005:
How or what should NACAA do
to address:
- Increasing younger membership and involvement
- Attendance at AM/PIC
- Building relationship with JCEP and other
professional associations
- Different staffing patterns and effects on
clientele
- Helping members understand issues better
- Is the NACAA mission changing?
- Increased relationships with USDA-CSREES
- Increasing your support for promotion and tenure
back home
- What role does NACAA play as a leader in the
changing Extension System?
Committee Membership
Members of the NACAA Futuring
Committee were selected by President Rogers with the assistance of the NACAA
Officers, Regional Directors and State Presidents. The goal was to have a mix
of professionals with various backgrounds and disciplines, regional
representation, years of experience, and other aspects of diversity that
represent our membership. Committee member contact information is listed at the
bottom on this page
Timeline
The committee will work over
18 months. A report draft will be prepared and presented to the NACAA Board
prior to their Spring Board meeting in March/April 2006 for review and comment.
The final report is to be presented in July 2006 at the AM/PIC in Cincinnati, OH.
An Opportunity for
Input
The committee will solicit
information and input from members, life members, non-members and others
through a variety of methods. We welcome
your opinions and advice and ask that you look for future correspondence and
requests from us. In the interim, please feel free to contact any of the
Futuring Committee members with your ideas and concerns related to our charge.
