In EFANS we aim to address eight integrative, emerging issues that we face as a society and as Extension educators. These issues were culled from the discussions at the 2008 Extension Fall Program Conference, the EFANS critical issues questionnaire (summer 2008), and submissions to the 2008-09 RFP and RFI. In order for EFANS employees to continue the conversation and pursue opportunities around these issues, we have created an online space to do so.

Join as many groups as you wish by replying to the "Join this discussion group!" thread on any discussion forum.
By conducting the discussions here instead of by separate email listservs, all the great information that is shared will be available in a central location: no more digging through your email to find that listserv discussion from months ago! Also, you can easily connect with EFANS colleagues from around the state. Profiles with photos and main areas of interest will help you put a face to the name and discover possible collaborators for future projects. Each interest group will have a facilitator to help keep the conversation going.
All users are automatically subscribed to the News Forum and the Grants and Funding Forum.
