To better serve all Nebraskans, Nebraska Extension has organized Extension Educators into Accountability Regions. Each Educator has a group of counties where they are expected to connect with clientele in their focus area. They provide a strong link to Extension programs, products, and training for businesses, organizations, and communities. Your local Educator, Emily Manning, currently serves Seward, York, Merrick, Hamilton, Polk, and Butler Counties.
