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.
