Congratulations to Joe Mask,County Extension Agent-Agriculture and Natural Resources in Fort Bend County and Billy Zanolini, County Extension Agent-Agriculture and Natural Resources in Madison County. They both had posters presented during the 2010 Texas AgriLife Extension Conference Graduate Student Poster Contest.

The titles of these posters are below:

Mask, J. 2010. "A collaborated effort between Agriculture, Family and Consumer Science,and 4-H to Educate Urban Citizens about the Importance of Agriculture."


Zanolini, B. 2010. "Effects of the 4-H Livestock Ambassador Short Course on Senior 4-H Youth & the Perceived Impact on Long Term Life Skills and Career Development."

This is an excellent example of scholarly work that many of our agents are involved with. District Extension Administrators and County Extension Directors should encourage County Extension Agents to make scholarly contributions that will advance the body of knowledge related to Extension programs and will enhance their dossier as it relates to Texas AgriLife Extension Service Career Ladder.
