Organizational Structure

The Division of Extension has a unique organizational structure that includes both geographical components (e.g. county, area) and programmatic components (e.g. institute, program). The organizational chart is the manifestation of the structure and is used across several behind the scenes structures (e.g. Department IDs, email lists, location codes, Person of Interest records).
