| SUBJECT: |
PARTICIPATION ON NON-PARTISAN ELECTED AND
APPOINTED BOARDS AND COMMITTEES |
| |
| POLICY: |
The judgment of the individual who is asked to
serve must be invoked at the time the opportunity to serve becomes
apparent. There may be times when participation on a board would
be controversial and consequently reduce the effectiveness of Extension
staff who because of their capacity on said board may have to
take stands which are unpopular. However, there may be times when
participation on such bodies would be of considerable advantage to
Extension Staff and to MSU Extension. The staff member should
carefully consider each situation with the objective of insuring that
such an assignment would enhance and not detract from his/her Extension
role. |
