Abstract
Values play important roles in determining how we function as individuals, family members, and professionals. Clarifying Cooperative Extension's values is critical to addressing successfully the rapid and severe changes Extension is experiencing both today and in the future. Based upon research conducted in North Carolina and Ohio, the authors identify organizational values for the respective state Extension organizations and suggest three organizational value systems for Cooperative Extension: Personnel, Process, and Product (Program). Through the use of critical success factors, the authors translate these abstract organizational values into examples of concrete programmatic action.
