Goals for 2014

  1. Contact new and current Extension Staff about joining NCEA

  3. Create a survey of the current membership as well as the extension staff that are not current members to determine what they need from NCEA.
  4. Work on NCEA Marketing with new promotion and recruitment ideas

2014 Accomplishments:

  • Potential new members were invited to join NCEA at New Employee Orientation in October. All Extension Staff were contacted via email as a reminder to join NCEA. 4-H staff members were invited to join NCEA at New 4-H Staff Training in September. Current Extension Employees were reminded of NCEA benefits at Southeast District Fall Conference.
  • A survey for both current NCEA members and extension staff that are not current NCEA members. The survey was developed in qualtrics and over 150 extension staff completed the survey.
  • An orientation for 33 new members was held at 2014 Fall Conference. Educational and networking opportunities were provided at this session. New members received business card holders with the NCEA logo and membership certificates.
