Abstract
Common sense tells us that an organization functions most effectively when its values are consistent with each other, and least effectively when they're not. I believe Extension's adoption of issues programming has meant "grassroots" and "research-based" programming, two of our most fundamental organizational values, increasingly have come into conflict with each other. Unless we, as an organization, begin to talk about which of these values is most fundamental to us, I fear we will, if we haven't already, drift into a malaise.
