Extension Leadership

The Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service is dependent upon the broad-based participation of local citizens. That involvement is accomplished through the Extension advisory council system. The Extension Council is an organized body of volunteer leaders that counsels with Extension agents in the identification of local problems and issues, assists in program implementation, participates in determining program success, and communicates program accomplishments and funding needs to decision makers.  The Extension Council should be organized with not less than 15 members nor more than 40 members from wide representation throughout the county. (KRS 164.625)

The Extension Council shall submit a list of 12 names (two names for each of the six positions) to the county judge/executive who will select six (6) from this list to serve on the Extension District Board when the district is formed.  The county judge/executive will make the seventh member. (KRS 164.630)
