Abstract
Promoted successfully, the traditional meeting format is still a valuable Extension tool. A crucial step in successful Extension meetings is establishing credibility with clientele. Maintaining quality is important, information taught should be useful, in lay terms, and well presented. Topics should be non-commercial, properly scheduled with a convenient starting time. Timeliness of topics supports program attendance, and programs should be coordinated with local events. Modern visual aids and comfortable, accommodating facilities are important. Establish meetings as a tradition. Never underestimate the need for social interaction. Advance planning and promotion is the most important issue for Extension meetings.
