Windham departs Extension helm

Tony Windham, director of the Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service, is bringing to an end a 28-year career that redefined how ideas and innovations flowed within the organization, strengthened local roots and made it better equipped to serve the farmers, families and communities that rely on Extension services.

Windham announced his departure on Monday Aug 8 to take a position in the private sector. His last day at extension will be Aug. 31. 

We here at Extension will miss Dr. Windham's expertise, guidance, and caring attitude towards all Extension employees.  We wish him the best of luck in all of his future endeavors! Our own Dr. Cartwright will be taking over as interim director. Read the  full story to find out more.
