ISU Extension and Outreach is part of the federal Cooperative Extension Service — a network of more than 100 land-grant institutions, including Iowa State University, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture serving communities and counties across the United States. Every county in Iowa has an elected extension council that decides how to support ISU Extension and Outreach educational programs at the county level.
The Wright County Extension Council members are Paige Grandgeorge, Rodney Legleiter, Hillari Klaver, Breanna Wagner, Abbey Canon, Kevin Hadley, Mike Marshall, and Miguel Angel Chavez.
“ISU Extension and Outreach engages Iowans in solving today’s problems and planning for tomorrow. With the support of our elected council, our educational opportunities for the people of Wright County continue to grow.” Paige Dagel said.
