Members assist in identifying programmatic needs, promote the value of Extension opportunities to the broader community, help cultivate new resources and partnerships, and challenge the team to provide relevant programming in the areas of agriculture and food, health and nutrition, and 4-H youth development.
Members are a part of Orange County communities and are an invaluable resource to the N.C. Cooperative Extension, Orange County Center team. Members serve three-year terms. If you are interested in serving on the Advisory Council, contact current Chair Lee Miller at leemiller09@gmail.com or County Extension Director Jonathon Smith at jonathon_smith@ncsu.edu or 919-245-2057.
