Action Item: Good Example Commits resources Health Disparities : Family and Consumer Sciences Background: A regional meeting of FCS Program Leaders & Specialists is needed to 1) provide professional development in the area of health disparities; 2) explore opportunities for multi-state and interdisciplinary efforts; and 3) form teams to write proposals for funding, development or adoption of health curricula across the region. Action Requested: Approval for a regional meeting Time line: September 1, 2007 - August 31, 2008 Concise Committee cannot move forward w/o approval

  17. Action Item: Poor Example Encourage Participation in National Meetings: Phantom Committee Background – Due to the impending success of the national eXtension effort, faculty of state Extension organizations have more opportunities to collaborate with colleagues on a broader scale. Participation in national meetings would give faculty more opportunities to network with their counterparts and learn of ongoing activities in which they can partner. Extension leadership is asked to consider supporting the increase in attendance by faculty to national meetings that could improve relationships and collaboration between state organizations. Committee (s) Involved – All committees Action Needed – Approval for professional faculty/staff to attend national meetings. Time Line – 2009 and beyond.
