It is nice to take a step back every now and then and reflect on our profession and why we do the work we do. After conducting a series of focus groups with Extension employees recently, I was thinking about what a dedicated and passionate group of professionals we have in Extension. One of the things the professionals I met with talked about was how important it was for them to believe in the work they do.
This commitment of Extension professionals is summarized well in the Extension Professionals’ Creed. Written in 1922 and adopted by Epsilon Sigma Phi in 1927, the creed is as relevant today as it was nearly 90 years ago.
Texas AgriLife Extension Service has created a nice video with Extension professionals bringing the creed to life. Take two minutes to listen to our colleagues from Texas and and reflect on what it means to be an Extension professional.
