From the Director
This year, you asked for more educational information in a wider variety of formats. I hope you have noticed the changes that we have made to try to serve you better. We've increased our educational articles online and in print and have produced a number of educational videos. We've even tried our hand at offering some self-paced, online classes for those of you who find it difficult to attend trainings in person. As always, we have continued our face to face educational classes, site visits and personal consultations as well. 

Here at Extension in Currituck we value lifelong learning and development - not just for our clients, but for our organization as well. It is in this spirit that we ask for your help. We are currently seeking input to develop our programs over the next five years. You can help by completing our online survey. Your input will help us continue to adapt and grow as we strive to serve you better.
