Developing educational programs based on community needs is the foundation of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension’s success. Providing solutions to county problems and issues allows Extension to remain viable to constituents. What could be more important than listening to its “customers” – the people of Texas? Our ability to meet educational needs depends on knowing what citizens see as their issues that impact their lives. There is no way to know the answers to these questions unless they are asked. The 2024 Texas Community Futures Forum was designed to do just this.
The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service is unique because it has faculty in every area of the state who are dedicated to educating Texans in many areas of need. This uniqueness provides an opportunity to bring together the people of Texas, other service agencies, and educational groups to help provide solutions to the problems and issues facing Texans. We provide innovative solutions at the intersection of agriculture, natural resources, youth and health, thereby improving the well-being of individuals, families, businesses and communities through education and service.
