As part of the MSUE restructuring effort, County Extension Councils have been disbanded. 

The final luncheon meeting of the Manistee County Extension Council took place on Wednesday, June 9, 2010. 

We take this opportunity to thank these individuals for their dedicated service to our local MSUE office. 

Thank you for your years of service to MSUE!

During its existence, the MSUE Manistee Extension Council met twice yearly, usually in late spring and late fall. Typically, the group gathered for a lunchtime meeting. The highlight of each meeting varied, but the agenda frequently included a guest speaker or special presentation. There was also time set aside for staff to share their most recent project involvements and progress reports with council members.

These were the key priorities and focus areas for the MSUE Manistee Extension Council:
