Why a Plan of Work?

• Extension is a public agency supported primarily
  by public (tax) dollars.
• To demonstrate accountability for our time and
  resources allocated to Kentucky Cooperative
  Extension, we need to show that our actions are
  planned and deliberate.
• The Plan of Work is our contract with the
  community - a display of locally identified
  issues and our plans to address them.
• BUT. . .

Why bother?

• The Plan of Work is like the rudder for our ship
  without a rudder, we would wander aimlessly
  without a course or deliberate direction
