Program Area Team Leads (PALT) will convene around core program areas and processes that need to be addressed by Nebraska Extension faculty/staff in order to keep their content and skills the most current. PALT will serve as a landing place for Extension faculty/staff and may be interdisciplinary in scope. These groups will:
- Identify professional development experiences that will advance the knowledge and capacity of the group.
- Keep faculty engaged to build teamwork and camaraderie.
- Ensure that base subject matter programming continues.
- Inform local extension staff of program opportunities related to base programming.
- Build and sustain general use products (websites, newsletters, social media, etc.).
- Develop resources related to situations that require a rapid response, i.e., drought, flood, disease, etc.
- Advise ELT and others on: Emerging issues, Capacity gaps, etc.
