Vanessa Green, Budget Analyst for Energy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment on the US Senate Committee on the Budget (Senator Judd Gregg - Ranking Member) met with me and others on August 21st for a briefing regarding UNH Cooperative Extension. She was impressed with the extent to which UNH CE has a broad mission with more diversity than she had anticipated and its program impacts. In addition, she noted that Federal formula funding makes up a small but important portion of our total revenue and is critical for leveraging other funding sources. She looks forward to further interactions with Cooperative Extension as we advance our mission throughout New Hampshire.
