  31. CWAS Looking Back

  32. Our Mission To be the primary source of research based agricultural information and education for the agricultural community in Central Wisconsin.

  33. Ten Points… (taken from Specialization Proposal document)

  34. 1. Co.’s will agree, to be an active partner. Agents involved in the effort will develop the expertise to adequately address client needs. 3. Agents will implement educational events in sufficient locations to facilitate participation by clientele. Ten Points…

  35. Ten Points… Agents will respond to their colleagues and participate in activities that will address concerns of clients that lie within their area of specialization. Agents will, if needed, make farm visits in cooperating counties. 6. Agents will direct calls to the agent responsible for that discipline.

  36. 7. Agents submit expenses to their home Co., reciprocal actions of the cooperators will essentially equalize the cost among Co.’s 8. This cooperative effort will not negate agents’ local responsibilities. Co.’s will make every attempt to hire to fit the specialization plan. 10. Agents must commit fully to the plan. Ten Points…

  37. Thank You
