Cornell Cooperative Extension Allegany County (CCE Allegany) will host its 2024 Annual Meeting Dinner on Tuesday, October 29th from 6:00-8:00pm at Off Duty 5184 State Route 244, Belmont, NY 14813
The highlight of the evening will be a talk by our guest Andy Turner, Associate Dean and Director of NYS CCE. Andy Turner began his term as Director of Cornell Cooperative Extension in December 2023. Andy has worked for Extension in New York State for 35 years, including 9 years in Rockland County, 14 years in Greene and Columbia Counties and most recently, 9 years at Cornell as the NYS 4-H Director. He grew up in the small town of Leicester, NY in nearby Livingston County. His parents, Allan, and Barbara Turner, both worked for Cooperative Extension and their wedding reception took place at the Monroe County Extension office in the early 1960’s. Andy earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Cornell University and a Doctorate in Education from St. John Fisher College in 2016. Dr. Turner’s talk will focus on what he calls the Spirit of Cooperative Extension, an exploration of the people and values that continue to drive the organization forward, keeping it relevant and vibrant in New York State for more than one hundred years.
