As an Extension educator, my prime concern is PEOPLE.

I believe it is my responsibility to give the best of my ability and develop myself to be an effective EDUCATOR.

I accept the opportunity to empower individuals, families, and communities to meet their needs and goals

through a LEARNING partnership.

May I always be willing to accept the challenges of the CHANGING TIMES.
