EXTENSION CHALLENGES

• Names
• People spend unnecessary effort trying to explain
  and understand what we mean by the structural
  names, diminishing the opportunity to talk about
  the actual programs, benefits and value of
  Extension.
• External and Internal

EXTENSION CHALLENGES

• What concerns do you have about these proposed
  name changes?
• Do you have other recommendations for the new
  names?
• What title changes do you recommend for your
  capacity area? For your area of expertise?

  considered for change?
