| 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. |

| APPLIES TO: |
MSUE Provost-appointed academic staff |
|
| PROVISIONS/RESTRICTIONS: |

- County, multi-count and area Extension Educators should
discuss the matter with their County Extension Director(s) and mutually

- District Educators and County Extension Directors are to
seek
the counsel of the appropriate Regional Director.
- If the decision is made to participate, a letter so
