Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County is governed by a 16 member Board of Directors that consists of 13 elected community volunteers; 2 non voting members appointed by the Chautauqua County Legislature and a representative from Cornell University. It includes people from towns throughout Chautauqua County who bring their knowledge of community needs and concerns to the governance of this organization. Our board sets policy, hires staff, prioritizes educational programs and works with Extension's educational staff to ensure program effectiveness.
Program Committees for each of our issue areas guide the direction of the workshops, classes and other services that we offer the residents of Chautauqua County, and review the effectiveness of our efforts. Our programs have evolved over the years to reflect changes in values, ethics, community norms, family structures, mobility and the economy in direct response to this grassroots community involvement.
CCE-Chautauqua is delighted to have active and diverse Board of Directors and Program Committees, which are key to achieving strong and meaningful community impacts! If, as you read more about how we are governed, you believe you have a contribution to make to our programming as a volunteer, please get in touch! We welcome your input and ideas!
