Cornell Cooperative Extension Cayuga County (CCE-Cayuga) is recruiting Cayuga County residents with diverse interests and backgrounds to serve as members of its Board of Directors. Board members guide and shape the direction of the organization’s many programs, oversee its finances and operations, select and evaluate the performance of its director, and other duties that help to ensure CCE-Cayuga effectively meets the current needs of Cayuga County residents.
Founded in 1914, CCE-Cayuga provides free or low-cost classes, workshops, services and information based on current research from Cornell and other Land Grant universities across the nation. Its programs are grassroots driven and created in response to community identified needs, on topics that include agriculture, environmental issues, food and nutrition, 4-H youth clubs and activities, home gardening, and more.

The full Board of Directors meets on the third Thursday of each month from 5:30–7:00pm. There is no financial commitment required to serve. Board members will be confirmed at the 2024 CCECayuga Annual Meeting, to be held on Thursday, October 24 from 6:00-8:00pm at Sennett Volunteer Fire Department Hall in Auburn, New York.
