Does this resonate with you?

Dear ESP Lambda Chapter members –

The ESP Board has been working on a vision statement for our organization that reflects our current work and intentions.  We’d like to hear from members as we move forward to re-committing our work for our profession.  Please take a moment to share your thoughts.  The joint statement that we have developed is below –

The vision of the Epsilon Sigma Phi Lambda Chapter is to foster a dynamic, collaborative, and
supportive environment that promotes professional growth, excellence, and leadership within
Cornell Cooperative Extension. We empower members through innovative learning
opportunities, shared knowledge, and trusted relationships, shaping the professional
development agenda to support a responsive and inclusive CCE system. We commit to cultivating the next generation of Extension leaders and ensuring high-quality, engaging, and
accessible non-formal educational experiences for all of New York State.

Yes/No…and thoughts?  Vote here: https://cornell.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6xOHxpHtIdYBF9s

Years of Service Certificates Again Available to Associations

Hi all –

Recently, members of the Epsilon Sigma Phi board suggested that it would be helpful for CCE Administration to provide years of service certificates once again for counties to print and honor staff during annual meetings.

Templates for these certificates are now available for you to use and posted on our staff site: https://staff.cce.cornell.edu/units/ses/staffrecognition   Please help us to spread the word to those who work on recognition.

This request was a great reminder about the value of staff recognition.  No surprise – staff recognition and appreciation are linked to employee retention.  Cornell’s staff recognition site has several resources that have useful suggestions or employee recognition.  We are sharing in case this is of interest (note that some items are specific to Cornell).  https://hr.cornell.edu/people-leaders/employee-engagement/recognition.

Thank you to you and all of your staff for the great work that happens in the name of Extension across the state.

Best –

Celeste Carmichael
Program Development Specialist (and Epsilon Sigma Phi Lambda Chapter President)
