CE priority positions and selection process posted

In response to the request for academic Cooperative Extension position proposals issued last fall, members of the ANR community submitted 138 advisor and specialist positions. AVP Allen-Diaz has posted the entire list of proposed positions at http://ucanr.org/positions2011.

Virtually all of the proposals met important needs and would contribute to the Strategic Vision, the Strategic Initiatives and critical program needs. However, due to budget realities, 20 were chosen for priority hiring.

In May, Allen-Diaz explained to the California Commodities Commission ANR’s process of narrowing the list to 13 advisor positions -- including the 5 advisor positions approved by VP Dooley for immediate recruitment -- and 7 specialist positions. Her PowerPoint presentation is also posted at http://ucanr.org/positions2011.

Approval of additional positions for hiring will depend on the budget.
