  What's Their Perception?
Extension should strengthen and improve its image with legislators, and an effort must be made to help both rural and urban legislators understand the major concern and mission of Extension.
Extension must keep legislators informed about what the organization is doing, how it is doing it, and what it could be doing if funds were available; an appropriate way would be to provide a statewide annual report to all legislators.
County Extension agents must make a positive effort to keep in touch with their legislators and be aware of their major issues of concern, their committee assignments, and the clientele groups to which they listen.
