Lay-leader involvement is essential and assured by using advisory and program planning committees to identify the needs and interests of clientele and to determine Ohio State University Extension program direction.  Every county must have an active Advisory Committee.  The number and kinds of other Extension committees vary somewhat among counties and different sections of the state.

In order to provide leadership direction to OSU Extension professionals, a series of fact sheets have been developed.  These on-line fact sheets are provided as Acrobat PDF files.  Click on the Adobe logo below if you need a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
