Download the CCECoA Purpose Statement (pdf)
The mission of the Cornell Cooperative Extension Council of Associations shall be to provide leadership from the unique perspective of CCE Association board members to improve the effectiveness of the Cornell Cooperative Extension system. The council's basic intent is to provide a forum that allows for dialogue on any issue relevant to that mission. That said, the council plans to focus its initial attention on the following priorities and will revise these priorities as circumstances and needs change:
1) To work to continually improve the partnership among Cornell University, CCE Administration and CCE Associations.
2) To pro-actively serve as a conduit for the sharing of ideas and knowledge among the CCE Associations and CCE Administration.
3) To develop a common understanding among CCE Associations and CCE Administration of the roles that each plays in the system's "Commitment to Excellence."
4) To advocate for the CCE mission in New York State to the legislature and others as appropriate and at the Federal level to appropriate funding sources.
5) To work in concert with CCE administration to create and provide board member training and development experiences.
6) To explore the potential for joint regional programming among associations.
The goal of the Council is to emphasize and improve the well being and effectiveness of the CCE system. It is not intended as a forum for representing the specific interests of individual associations or regions (except to the extent that those interests impact on the entire system).
