“The Douglas County Extension council is seeking people from all walks of life who are interested in education and the progress of our community,” says Unger. “Serving on the Extension council is a great way to help make our community a better place for people to live.”
Extension council members represent the broad educational needs and backgrounds of the people of Douglas County. Candidates must be at least 18 years old and reside in the district they would represent. Nominations for the Douglas County Extension council must be made by Dec. 29 at 4:30 p.m.
