  2. As a grassroots organization, the success of the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service relies on the active participation of Kentuckians in carrying out programs.

  3. The primary mechanism for securing input in the support and direction of local Cooperative Extension programs will be with the County Extension Council.

  6. CEC Membership • 15-40 members • Representatives of program councils/committees • Individuals representing the broader community • Diversity of membership (geographically, age, gender, race, etc.) • A rotation system implemented to allow new membership
