Extension Boards, established by law (Nebraska Statute 2-1602), are an integral part of the Extension system. They serve as a vital link to our community and help support and direct our programs as our staff educate and serve the residents of Platte and surrounding counties.
Platte County Extension board members are active in community and represent a cross section of business, agriculture and youth interests. They play a key role in helping community members and elected officials understand the impact of Extension programs. They convey why and how the public benefit from Extension work in both Platte's rural and urban settings.
